Alcon

Chaps,

Does anybody have the exact part numbers for the rear Alcon disc and bell assembly?

Cheers

I probably have it burried away in an old email account some where .... If I only knew which of the 4 laptops it was in

Why not email Alcon directly to find out?

Try Rob Capaldi robert_capaldi@alcon.co.uk

If no go there try the Director of Alcon USA Philip Stubbs pstubbs@alconusa.com

I have conversed with both of them in the past, both very helpful.

Otherwise when I get sometime I'll pop into our local Alcon distributor and borrow their catalogue book - that has all the part numbers in it.

Are Alcon kits better than AP??

[manos///3]

I have Alcon on my car and I have driven many times my friend's csl with AP.
They are great brake aplications and good choice value for money.

Alcon has monobloc calipers.
Ap brake pedal feel is much stiffer with shorter travel.

Not heard of Alcon until people started having problems with them and supliers, AP are best.

I am using Alcon for two years under hard track braking conditions and have no issues, expect the brake pedal feel and travel.

I solve it by removing servo and putting two master cylinders with bias bar adjustment.

I don't have an issue with the brake travel and I've driven this and an
M3 with AP's back 2 back before I bought. Only difference was the Alcons were more progressive (Rs29's fitted to both) rather than instant grab of the AP's.
Depends on your preference / driving style I guess, however if good enough for CSL Cup cars then fine for me.

Have you driven it on track?

I have bought my CSL back which I fitted the alcons to. They are in my opinion very good but lack the initial bite of the AP's. The pedal travel is far greater than on AP's. The mc to caliper ratio is not as good on the Alcon.

I am running carbotech xp12's this time round, see how they do, they should give more initial bite than the rs29's.
