AP Racing OR Alcon ?

[bryce]

Im gonna run my standard brakes for a while on track and see how I get on. They were brand new (discs and pads) 5k miles ago.

Id love a BBK, but its a helluva money. I may well change my mind once Ive done a few laps.

Yea as you say alot of money but you will soon be buying a set after 30mins on track! Even on the road the brakes are crap!
Defo the best mod for any M3. Good re sale aswell so not all bad! :beer:

How are you getting on with the KW Varient 3's? :smokin:

[bryce]

I LOVE them :smt055

Only done 100miles or so since fitting them though, so Ive never had the chance to push it on - particularly with this weather. Was in town today though, and it looked Sooooooooo so so good sitting in the car park.

Knockhill in two weeks though, and an awesome drive to it, so I'll give a write up then. I'll give Mark a run too, see what he thinks.

hi dave ,where from and how much ? i want :drool:

[Stefplus]

Very nice to change the pads... :whistle:

I am very AP ( !) with my actual brake set up, but changed the original DS2500 pads for Yellow Pagids.

The discs are now worn up ( two TD seasons )

Has someone a reference for the matching PF discs on the front ?

Thx !

Well so much for asking for that email to remain private :119:

Yes, we've spent some time developing these and I'll post full details as they become available. THere's nowt wrong with the AP's and we will continue to supply them, however there are a few ways they can be improved upon and AP were unwilling to change. As for performance we certainly found that the higher weight of an unstripped car on track days or the higher endurance required in race applications meant that the AP's only got 80% of the way to sorting either application. In other words, on track days the AP's still showed sign of fade or disk premature disk destruction and in racing they wrepast their best after half race distance meaning the lighter E36's could outbrake you.

They have been developed for the CSL Cup with road versions made available. We should have 10 sets in stock in 2 weeks.

Sorry John, didn't know this was a secret ? Just some facts between AP and Alcon, everybody can find these on the internet ...

I just wanted some feedback from actual users, so I can make the right decision for myself.

I think I go for the black AP's with PF discs and pagid pads, because Alcon is only available in yellow ? And we need discrete calipers in Belgium, because we are not allowed to change anything on our cars in order to pass MOT.
