New Brakes

[GAZ345]

having tried the csl on track i thought that the only thing letting it down was the standard brakes, so since it was needing new disk's anyway i thought i would upgrade, so i got these 380mm 6 pot Hi Spec's, what an improvment, it should have come from the factory with these.

The look beter than the AP's i think Gaz also much bigger
The discs are performance friction are they not ???

Can i ask what made you chose them over the AP brakes that every one seems to recomend? I am currently looking at upgrading my brakes and seem to be being herded to the ap set up.

Ihave tried a/p's before & they are great brakes,but for the a/p csl kit the disk's are smaller, the disk's are also bad for cracking & at about 2-300 pound more for a kit no thank's

[dustyjustin]

Did you get a special deal at £1755. Have just looked on web site and they are £1835

[dustyjustin]

Have you managed to get a price yet on the brake system?

[GAZ345]

the rear brakes are also upgraded now,4 pot hispecs on new standard disk's.this make's a huge difference,can brake much later now & car feels more planted on the road under braking

[dave1]

just looked at the post again plus the other post in the technical area
i see these kits use performance friction discs now perhaps thats solved the issues you had with there own discs
