Default Quick Brake one please

Guys just a quick one

how much better or worse are a set of AP 4pot fitted to a classic compared to a set of newage sti 4pot brembo fitted to a classic?

Not worried of cost of replacement parts etc I am just wondering what would you say is a better setup?

What would you want fitted to your car?

Which do you think would perform better?

Thanks

The brembos need a lot of clearance.

Spry clearence I assume you are talking a bigger offset or spacers, but what about the performance?

The difference is going to be mainly in the caliper. The Brembos do work well, although ultimately the CP5200 AP 4 Pot Caliper is better.

You can get decent discs/bells for either.

I've had both on a classic & the AP's are better brakes.
