Help on Brakes

Hi all Jim here, had my CSL for a little while now and it needs some good brakes on it as i had it smoking round silverstone last week. Any one have an opinion on who is a good replacment for the OE stuff?

Thanks

Jim

Thanks for the reply. Looking for the lot really, the fluid will need changing but im thinking about going for an upgrade kit.

Take a look on http://www.simpsonmotorsport.com/ for their AP kit mate

Other options are Brembo and Alcon IIRC

Hi Jim and welcome Most peeps on here who track their cars have AP Racing anchors. I however "daring to be different" and saving a small fortune in the process went for this option on my SG CSL (pix below) It works an absolute treat

Shane what's your opinion of the K-Sport kit when directly compared with the same size AP kit?
