I'm in need of a set of AP front discs as mine have developed cracks on the surface. Looks like its only the left side that's developed the cracks but i guess i'd have to change both sides so as to maintain brake balance...

Really gutted as i had two sets last year but decided to sell then on here :banghead:, am hoping someone can return the favour...:thumbs:

Awaiting PM's :thumbs:

How big are the cracks?

AP dscs get surface cracks pretty early bu don crack proper for some time. If its just light cracking and not to the edge they are fine for another 6-12 months, even with your heavy right foot :thumbs:

As shimmy says, light surface cracks are normal. Spiders legs so to speak,
If they are a deep crack to the edge then get them changed.

Ran pf with no issues.

Sadly the crack on the left side has worked its way very close to the edge, we're talking a few millimetres if that.....

Sadly not too keen on AP running costs :bigcry: but are they brilliant or what.

Lawsy - tell me more about PF :drool:
