Ap or others ?

im using stoptech.brake pads originate from porsche 997,performance friction have replacement discs and pads pagid ferodo ebc all do pads to fit these calipers and there are a few other good companies that you can get the bits from if needed.after our bank holiday blast i treated them real harsh and didnt even get a squeek or any brake fade.well happy with my choice.
excellent kits:thumbs:

i have got the chance to get some AP'S for the front,

can these be run on OEM discs ok ?

Don't forget your hoses 'Hel' or 'Goodridge' both as good as each other: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2612127807...761%26_rdc%3D1

Each have their own experiences, my life with Tarox was better than APs, but different car and they weren't the cheaper option

Go with what you think is right for you and your budget.

Is it ok to use oem discs with AP 6 pots ?

[s.mac]

No you need bigger discs, AP or PF

[Das Chin]

avoid yellow stuff pads or anything from EBC. they are shite and they crumble.

you mean these ones: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...ts-bbk/1320029

ok on cars under a tonne but CSL is not.

if you are going APs then go Pagid. not point in cutting corners.

I'm quite happy on my KSport kit with EBC Bluestuff pads... Leaps and bounds better than std.

AP's all round with RS-29 pads... job done!

I never really suffered from the squealing pads... guess i was lucky

I'd rather have just AP fronts. their obsession with high piston count is pure marketting led BS...

I have brembo 6 pot front and 4 pot rears. I couldn't agree more with the comment about pagid pads for the track, for street I'm running hawk hps pads. Pagids are good but overkill on a street car. I'm not familiar with any other BBK kits other then stop tech and brembo, but your guys AP's look up to par. Plus with AP's I heard you guys won't need to run spacers up front, not sure if that's true. I'm running OEM csl wheels and to clear the 6 pot front caliper I had to go with a 10 mm spacer. Had I known this myself before I got my BBK kit, I probably would have went with AP's myself.
