Question

Looking for a decent brake setup to replace some 2 pots. It will be used in the road and odd track days so I think 4 pots will be fine, 6 pots would just be overkill.

What would you guys recommend?

Wilwood?
Hi-Spec?
AP?
Brakeman?
Scoobysport?

I shall be looking for calipers, mountings, pads and discs, 330/335mm discs to fit undr 17in compomotice MO wheels, classic scooby of course. Price as ususal is also a main consideration.

What you rekon?

Cheers

Paul

Second-hand scooby 4 pots, and then Godspeed 335mm kit! for the price it's excellent value, and they work bl00dy well!! I did a track day a few weeks ago, I did 145 hard miles, and the best thing was the brakes, no fade, or vibration whatsoever!!!
Awesome!

Not the cheapest but I wouldn't bother going for anything other than the AP4 pot kit - nothing else comes close (expcept the AP6 pots )

Open invitation to Mutant_Matt, come down & try the KAD 330 mm kit......

Personally believe they are better on road use, not as harsh as AP's....though that's why the invite is there....

We have them on the shelf we have tried the 335mm kit against the 330 AP's and our kit stops quicker , having a bigger disc with a bigger pad = better stopping , at a fraction of the cost too , perhaps we should organise a group test to see what works best out of all the kits
