Fook me Mark they are awesome! :smokin: How much did they set you back?

I wonder if you can run the 6 pot Black & Yellow AP calliper with a larger than 355mm disc (bell & rotor), I know they do a 378mm kit for other applications but what about CSL's?

the M3 E92 AP kit in 378x36 AP 6P fits the hub and Csl rotor, you just have to modifie the braker between king pin and caliper

I have pics somewhere, let me check that, I'll comeback to it during weekend :smokin:

As a mere novice at this, would it be fair to say that the ONLY point of having bigger/better brakes is so that you can get on them much later in the corner, thus making your laptime quicker ? And if you are racing outbrake another competitor ... assuming that you do indeed get round the corner !!

Would it also be fair to say that if the above rings true, it requires much more skill and judgement in doing the above as timing is more critical, the braking zone is possibly smaller, and the margin for error much less?

If both of the above have any truth about them, would it be fair to say that at 52 years old, 53 in April, my PF's and AP's are more than adequate for what my brain could cope with? :hahaha:

alternatively, having larger discs, but driving the same as with smaller, will mean less heat build up in the disc, and less chance of boiling your fluids:beer:
