Default AP Racing Big Brake Kit 6 Pots Front

AP Racing Big Brake Kit. Front 6 Pots 330 x 32 x 114

AP Racings extremely effective big brake kit with 330 mm discs.

I had these on my tuned Impreza and the stopping power compared to the standard Brembos is exceptional. These are one of the best performance upgrades you can get for your money. Forget a horse power boost when you can get on the brakes an extra 60 yards into the next corner.

With the correct hub plate these can be fitted to most vehicles and comfortably fit inside a set of 17 inch rims.

Fitted about 18 months ago and my car was serviced every 5000 miles so very well looked after. As you can see from Pic 2 the pads are quite new too, I think they are Mintex but can confirm if you want to ask.

I'll even throw in the K&N Intake (you can see in the background of Pic 2 and 3 on ebay add) if you want it.

New these set me back just over £2,000 so probably a bargain to be had by someone. Only selling as upgraded Impreza to a GTR and wanted to sell with original Brembos on so surplus to requirements.

Any questions just ask, listed on ebay too, if you have any questions PM and I will be happy to help.

Not a bad question at all !!

Like I say listed on ebay to end Sunday, 2 grands worth only 18 months ago so I suppose I'd be looking for close to a grand, open to offers around there I suppose.

Similar happened on a local forum.

Bloke advertising a snap on tool box I offered him a reasonable £375 for it.

His reply was "double that and you've got yourself a deal but hurry as its on ebay".

Auction ended at £247

You'd have got £900 on here if you'd have read the terms and conditions and actually listed a price.

Still.... someone got a bargain

They'll probably be a good reason why he can't let them go for £686

It was me who won the auction guys. Right before bidding i asked him if it was fine for me to come around and collect and pay cash and he PM'd me back saying it's fine and after i've won the auction i pm'd him to to find out his address and phone number and surprise surprise - no response since yesterday.

So looking through google searches for other AP racing kits i came across this post here and it became a bit obvious why he's not responding

I am hoping he's decent enough to stick to his actions and choosing the no reserve option was his own, however i have my doubts in people when it comes to money.

Will let you know how it turns out guys.

I hope you get them. On ebay if you don't want something to go too cheap, thats why you set the reserve.

Thanks guys but i really doubt that he's willing to give up 200-300 pounds just to be a decent guy and we all know ebay is a joke..

Not everyone is like that. The first EJ22t I sold on here I sold for £950. I had 3 people after that offer me a lot more. I stuck with my morals and sold it to the guy who I originally accepted £950 from. Some people have been raised to still believe in old fashioned decency. Hopefully you'll get what you won fair and square.

Just got a response from him on ebay! Looks like there are certain good people around and i was worried for nothing

Don't need to lay it on, I'm happy with the sale, had a couple of folk offering £800 since but you got them fair and square.

I don't fly back to Scotland til tomorrow night would it be ok if I brought them into my office in Perth Wednesday and you can come get them, it's a lot closer than where I am out the Sma Glen.

If not let me know when you can manage.

Cheers,

Sean.

Mate, you got a bargin there: they were worth 900 easy!

Nice to see someone showing some integrity and honouring a transaction even when an honest oversight put them out of pocket!

The bad and dishonest always make more noise than the good even though they are fewer in number. Just because we get distracted by the noise doesn't mean the beauty of silence isn't out there.

Top marks Sean, whoever you are.
