400bhp is hard to stop

RS Mat · 02-08-2012, 20:21

On standard brakes...

So I've been and fetched it some new stoppers...

jason_nike · 02-08-2012, 20:59

Very nice Mat, now get em fitted
Just what I would like on mine

RS Mat · 02-08-2012, 22:37

Cheers mate... I'm going to pop them on at the weekend mate.

RS-BRAMMER · 02-08-2012, 22:39

I can't wait to test mine on the road as you say that power is hard to stop - i overshot many a junction on std stoppers

daz1968 · 02-08-2012, 23:16

I would love to upgrade mine, but at the moment I don't want to change the wheels from stock, so my options are very limited and probably not worth the expense. I may change my mind after being set up on greens for next year. Although I am not aiming anywhere near 400 so might be ok. I do like ap brakes though, look good and work well.

Blue disks look cool, lol used to always overheat mine.
Mind you I was at a thrash once and Lee (Tib) pulled in with his standard brakes on fire, lol I never got mine that hot.

Fitting AP's was one of the best mods I did to my car, nice knowing you can stop if you really need to in a hurry

luke 200 · 03-08-2012, 07:42

Good choice mate! AP's are awesome.

D11AKS · 03-08-2012, 09:57

What size are they , will they not require a non standard wheel to go over them

RS Mat · 03-08-2012, 13:13

Good set up don't go too mad on the pad choice I had full on race spec carbon pad that destroyed the discs and paintwork down the car both sides had iron filings imbedded in the paint

Looked good at night with the discs glowing red though
