Default AP 4 Pot Brakes - Replacement discs / pad options?

Hi,

Its coming to the end of life for the discs (330mm) and pads for my AP Racing 4 pot brakes. Is there any alternative disc/pad combinations out there instead of the standard AP stuff?

Just curious if anyone is running different discs or pad setup and whats their feedback!
cheers,
Stu

with the discs you are pretty much stuck with AP..............as for pads then what are you after, std kits come with Ferodo ds2500's in but plenty of other manufacturers have compounds available dependant on your use, driving style, etc................

I only knew about the Ferodo's. Is there Mintex or Pagids or EBC available too? Planning to do some track days but only a couple... normally just fast road use... any suggestions?!

Ian at Godspeed (www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk) can supply you a new set of discs for the AP kit for about £300 including new bells!

He also has a 1 year warranty on his discs that INCLUDES track days!
