Pops I'll be at silverstone, my car has all the goodies you're after, ap brakes (new discs/rs29 front and rear) will be used at silly though. Braille Titanium back box, intrax 1k2 and 18" apex wheels.

All parts being removed for sale after silverstone. Putting her back to standard

Thanks for that bud.

Whilst appreciating that I could possibly save some cash, for brakes I'd prefer new kit, it's just my way.

Definitely interested in listening to different back boxes though.

Why are you going back to standard?

Sharing a race car with shimmy.

Racing takes the fun out of track days but will still do the odd one or two for the social side.

Race car, now that sounds an interesting project.

So, where / who would be the best to order the brakes from?

Will be looking for a full AP kit in black.

Noted that the rear calipers use the oem rear disc which will mean fronts will be grooved and rears will be drilled, that isn't going to happen so will also order replacement AP rear discs.

Costly maybe but the advantage being I'll have a 100% matched set up with a 100% matched oem set up in a box that can either be sold as a whole separately or stashed until the car gets sold.

Asking as with being newish here I don't know who is who when it comes to ordering stuff.

The problem of rear ap discs is they are all iron.
Heavier than the originals as the originals have aluminium center hub.

I had front grooved and rear drilled. I have now too

Going to speak to him tomorrow. Short comms this evening and he knows what I'm after.

Had a look at his website, maybe wasn't a good idea, those Brembo GT kits look nice!

All sorted.

Now just a case of trying to be patient

Cups will be next. Cups will be next. It is futile to resist.
