could you get your money back off them and order from somewhere else today and they'll be with you tomorrow?
how comes that they won't be with you tomorrow? they should be sending them out on a pre 9am delivery direct from AP imo.

Spoken to EARs today and they have my APs.
I actually got them to do a rolling check list over the phone before sending them out...
AP Racing 356mm discs
5 x 100 PCD
6 pot calipers in black
black bells
1 set of DS2500's
1 set of Mintex Racing F2's
Went out on an overnight courrier today so should have on Monday...
And so we wait...
Hopefully a set of these in black

We shall see...
Theyre coming by courier so can turn up any time till 5pm. They need to collect the Alcons anyway upon delivery of the AP's.
Even once it has brakes it needs new geometry and a completely new map due to the 740cc injectors that are now in it.
So she wont be around a for a couple of weeks yet anyway
