andrew_lally Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 looking for a high end brake upgrade and thinking o going all out on a set o ap 6 pots...anyone got any advice or recomendations?????????
andrew_lally Posted April 15, 2005 Author Posted April 15, 2005 Cmon guys....help me out here....im sure most o the scoobie lads have upgraded brakes at some point due the poor OEM brakes!!!
john_robertson Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 IIRC Kart-Man has AP 6 pots on his P1 and raves about them. Other options are Godspeed. What MY is it for? John.
dave_morgan Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I couldn't recommend the AP 6 pots enough. I've had the P1 round knockhill lap after lap, and they just don't give up !!! With the original 4 pots, you're lucky if you get 6 laps from them before they start fading. Best £1500 you'll spend on your car in my opinion. (p.s. I tried uprated disks and pads on the std calipers, and nothing got rid of the fade after a hard session on KH)
sKunk Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Well reminded, just emailed godspeed for some disk prices.
p3dro Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 speak to dad he got godspeed and doesn't shut up about them
andrew_lally Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 Bought the ap 6 pots...they too pretty to put on hahahahaha.....330mm grooved discs.....they massive....had to go get a set o 17s to fit them under hahahaha
andrew_lally Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 They for an old my96 jap import wrx....totally destroyed two sets o discs so far......so the ap's aint that pricey when you add up £200 twice in two months.....knockhill is a killer on brakes.....managing to get round in 1.04s on subaru 2 pots....so these should shave off another sec at least.....cant wait till sunday now.....hot hatch days rule!!!!
Gumball Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 BOUGHT A COUPLE OF PAIRS OF MONTEX M1144 PADS TODAY I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET WHIPLASH A COUPLE OF TIMES ON THE WAY BACK. A MUST HAVE FOR SUPERIOR BRAKING (IF A LITTLE NOISY)
dave_morgan Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 << MINTEX M1144 >> Squeek, squeek, squeek, squeek !!! (I prefer the Ferodos as the squeeking from the Mintex used to really get to me !!)
