AP Rotor Experts
Can they be skimmed?
If so is there any guidelines as to how much?
Also can cooling grooves be machined into them if there blank discs?
Cheers

he dont come on here much, when i first join rsbb he gave me alod of stuff for me 1300 and i went to his "garage", its a bungalow with all the walls knocked in and a garden in the rear
he got loads of laths ect and other tools, hes a serious DIY person
cant give out his name though as he didnt wanna do em for people as it was too much hassle and hes too busy with work, he offered to do it for me but he was very busy and recomended i get it done elsewhere

nope there not off a porker.
Well i guess they could be the same as on the porkers.
There brand new and i got them at a good price so could say no
Will get some pics up ASAP, with a standard calliper next to it
Bascially Think AP 6 Pots and then think BIGGER! MUCH BIGGER

Yes Brembo.
And i'll leave the rest to guessing
Oh and not sure if they will fit behind my rims yet, as the rims are still at the coaters so i cant test fit them.
Martin had 356 and AP 6's behind his and he said there was loads of room.
I would think i could push for 380's but getting the disc's could be an issue and whether these callipers could run them as there designed for 360

yeah i know how big they are ginge, i've seen a couple of sets, i dont think i could fit 380 due to the pad depth on my calipers 54mm dsign for 356mm
380, you much more slender pads and thus i would have issues with over hang
think 356 will be more than enough, these callipers are designed to stop a 2.5t 500bhp monster so im sure it wont have to much trouble with mine
220bhp and 1.5t
