    Where to buy AP brakes?

    A weeks hooning in Cornwall has highlighted my spongy brakes, so looking at a full AP kit.

    Not looking to run spacers, so do I need the narrower caliper?

    Where is best to buy from, price & service wise?

      That's right Neil, got mine from ASPerformance and cannot fault his customer service. I had them within 3 weeks too where all others were quoting up to 6 weeks.

      I got a full kit, but got my pads from Martin (TrackM3) who had them shipped before even receiving the funds from me.

          That's interesting to know, Jim.
          First class service with the bits and bobs I had of Martin, in preparation for the trip :bigcry: Didn't realise he did the complete AP Kits.:thumbs:

                  Anyone have experience running the AP brake kit on the fronts only and stock on the rear? After a week with the car, I am starting to think that its time to upgrade the brakes.

                  Also considering going with a set of Pagid street/track pads for a little while as it was a solid setup on my relatively heavy e92 M3.

                    Call Questmead Ltd, 01706 860088, get the CP5575-1004R2 kit but ask for pagid RS29 pads and not the crap that comes standard with them. :thumbs:

                      I think you'll struggle to get hold of any at the moment, seems to be peak season and there's a 5-10 week lead time as AP need to make some more.
