Before I start looking for a new set does anyone have an AP Racing 6 pot brake setup for sale?

Ideally for 5x114.3 PCD and be 330mm with good rotors, although 5x100 would be fine as I could get the bells redrilled.

Please PM me with what you have available.

 

Sorry no ..but got mine from Godspeed £1550

 

For the 6 pots?

 

Probably using their own kit, but I'd rather go for a full AP kit first out of choice.

 

Godspeed bells and discs AP 6 pot calipers I think . . .I went for that kit to fit under 17s . .works well

 

You think? Lol. Either it was 6 pots or not lol. Was gonna say for 6 pot kit was a decent price but I'm pretty sure it was the 4 pot kit at that price?

 

Do it right a go alcons!
Alcove were a big upgrade over my orevious Ap's

 

The only thing that bothers me about the Alcon setup is the well known problems with the dust seals, they know it's a problem and have never done anything to rectify it.

 

Think there is a blue set on eBay at mo

 

The exact reason I went with ap myself

 

6 pot AP's?alcons are good but in my opinion not superior to the AP caliper,and I have driven cars with both set ups...Plus the after care from Brembo/AP for getting replacement parts and options plus resale value AP in my opinion are hard to beat and would be my choice over the Alcons allday...SJ.

 

And this...SJ.

 

Are the standard Brembo's not up to the job then?

 

Along with the pistons rusting , and bells crumbling , and this can happen after only a couple of years.

We have supplied quite a lot of our own stainless steel pistons for these calipers , and we also make bells that don't corrode and crumble away.

Yes we offer a 330mm kit with the new 9040 forged 6 pot AP calipers for £1550 with either DS2500 or PF Z rated pads , other pads are available , price has a slight increase depending on what pad you fancy

We also sell complete AP kits , we don't just sell them with our discs bells and brackets

Cheers Ian

 

I thought the standard black brembos we not the best I had pfc pads on as well
The car was running standard power
The brembos had to go

 

Hi Ian, how does the 6 pot 330mm kit compare to the 4 pot CP6600 330mm kit?

 

Sounds like you could of had another problem if it was on standard power, even when I upgraded to AP 6 pots the set up came with the ferodo pads as standard and they were shocking once you get some proper heat in them.SJ.

 

I take it them 9040 are the newer 7040 versions. (How much is the 'full' AP kit in that btw?)
I could of had some alcons, but they looked in a right state, big price of replacement discs and I've heard the seal stories too and then the aps came up.

Agree sj on the ds2500 set up on 6 pots, they are not the best pad for the caliper, can't wait to change them.

 

I was tired it should have read as below I wasn't sure if bells and discs were godspeed or not

AP 6 pot calipers and Godspeed bells and discs I think . . .I went for that kit to fit under 17s . .works well

 

Ok lol.
Nice caliper if it's the 9040

 

Yes they work very well, my Mrs hates my late braking

I've got the ds2500s in and not completely happy with them either . . . What pads would people recommend ?

 

I have the ds2500 in mine too and hate them also, I'm getting Carborn Lorraine or cabotech next, maybe I'll try the pf but unsure if they will be harsh enough for me

 

The CLs are meant to be really good . . But which flavour would be best . .rc5+ or rc6 ? Not sure the link is correct caliper but good for getting idea about prices

I've not decided yet, might go for the carbotech still as apparently they are less noisy and last longer etc so could be a better buy for same performance.
But yeah £250ish sounds right for the 6 pots. I think the 7040/9040 use same pad I think?

 

How long do the ds2500 normally last for using fast road

 

Fairly long as it goes as I am trying to wear them down as we speak so I can justify changing them,but I feel above a certain power level or driving style they fade pretty badly and are borderline dangerous as when they start to get some serious heat in them they run out of grip.I have a set of PF race compounds to go in when they do but would not buy or use the DS2500 again,my mate has the DS3000 which he raves about I might give them a try at a future time.SJ.

 

I'll have awhile yet so as I only do 2 or 3 k a year

 

lol same here, but if im flush I might just pull them out regardless

 

Anything beats the standard wrx brakes I was using a while back
