Brakes for Salzburgring ?????

[northernjim]

I wouldn't buy AP's anyway. Loads if people have problems with them. Am I right in thinking they have no dust seals ? Yes they prob are the best when working 100% but can't justify them.

? can you show me any performance 6pot caliper that does have dust seals???? my 7040 ap's did, but the seals just crack when you use them on track, my 5575 don't..... neither do the alcons....

imo, an' I've said it before, ap are great etc but standard with RS29/lines/fluid is great also and manageable. Intrax would get my dosh before ap. I have standard suspension but would say the difference to Intrax is greater than the difference to ap/ standard with rs29's.

wheels speaketh sense:beer: plus your tyres will wear down more evenly, and thus last longer:beer:

Formula road kit has dust seals etc, only ever had 1 issue which AP resolved FOC even when the calipers where 2 years old ! weve used them on numerous race cars with no issues, all the BTCC cars we supply run them as part of the NGTC spec and no issues, just a good allround caliper.

I don't know anyone that has a problem with them.

I thought I'd opened a can of worms when I said I didn't rate AP's lol. Not slagging them just don't fancy them.

Thorney do a drive in drive out pagid rs29 all round with fluids £580. But I could do it myself. Good price but wasted if going for BBK

What people's opinions on the BMW performance calipers group buy on cutters ?

Not prepared to get the AP's this year. I've only had the car 3 months ! The wife would go mad. I can hide the lower priced stuff :smt055

just tell the wife it 'Elf and Safety'

I'm guessing there's a story somewhere in that !!
I thought caliper's were all the same as bleed nipple top and bottom. :-/

Pads are £386 inc vat and delivery so expensive fluid that is !

Yes it is AP fluid it says but that is fitted. £386 is much better though.

I can't decide whether to book the Salzburgring track event or not. My main reason is my car is completly standard . The brakes all round are only 12 months old and seems a shame to wreck them.

Would pads all round suffice I.e ds2500 or pagid rs29's
I plan on Munich. Salzburgring and the Thursday at the ring for a quick 8 lapper !
My old car had fantastic brakes and suspension setup. Im suprised how inadequate the csl's are .:moan:

take it back now!!:-D

Lol yes how wrong was that comment. I take it back :-) I meant when pedalling on, the std brakes don't fill you full of confidence.

Ap's all round with RS29's was the best mod i did on my CSL by far....

Have you been in a CSL with AP's all round on track?

If you haven't then get yourself a few passenger laps on track with someone who has them and i'm pretty sure afterwards you will become a believer.

it is by far the best money spent on the CSL..........do it first, early and with AP :119:

My only experience of a csl is my own. AP's won't be going on before Germany unless a 2nd hand set pops up.
