We are pleased to announce that we are now fully fledged AP Racing dealer :)

From personal experience and a well known pedigree of over 750(!) F1 wins for their brakes alone, these are simply the best products on the market.

Example application, Audi S3 8P

355mm x 32mm 48 Vane floating rotors and bells, six pot rigid lightweight calipers and choice of pads depending on application, alloy mounting brackets and braided hoses. £2400 including vat. Available with either black or red calipers

OEM wheels require a small 3mm spacer for clearance. Fitting service available.

Do you have anything that just looks prettier behind the wheel? I have a 170 TDi so any brake upgrade is purely for the looks...
 
Well done Rick.

These are the business...I've just swapped to AP from the previous kit I had.

They are fantastic aren't they, it's the pedal feel that always gets me, they inspire so much confidence.

I've got the 6-pot front kit on mine,and compared to the previous kit,it's miles better,but at the time I bought the first kit,AP's one wasn't ready.

This works very well,has plenty of feel even from cold,and doesn't give you the feeling it's going to croak on you at any time.

I had a 4pot kit on my Escort,and despite being 6 pots down on some of the current kits(you'll know which I'm talking about) these had immense stopping power.

The other thing is knowing that the entire kit can be serviced and rebuilt if required,unlike some.
 
Hi Rick

Do you stock RS3 replacement AP discs ?
I'd heard there are supply issues with AP so I didn't bother looking into it any further.
 
Sadly not, although these look the b****cks it's a side effect of their functionality :)

Rick
I must agree, unfortunately can't justify that kind of money just for vanity...I'd go for a S3 kit but it's been done plenty and they are meant to be heavy...looks like I have no choice

Thank you for your reply :)
 
Please don't buy and fit these I was only joking :) . They are liable to fall off as you need to glue them in and are the kind of thing that shouldn't be attached to a quality car.
