well I haven't 'gone' Alcon' yet

But I'm sure they'll be fine for what I want, reading Titan's post it sounds like it's a pad issue and not the calipers? If Radders has used them for a season they can't be that bad surley?

A bargin. I prefer AP's but if I was in the market I'd have snapped these up.

I've left my iPad in the car and I can't be arsed trying to answer and read the pm's on this iPhone. Will reply to all first thing.

there is no performance difference at all. at least 4 cars ran them in the csl cup last year and no braking performance difference at all.

they seem to last longer than AP's and don't warp discs.

Good buy they are, perfect for a road car coz pad wear is fook all compared to AP's, as Mark said when racing the feel isnt as precise as AP's but they will be more than up to a shed load of trackdays

Good job - that's one of the main selling points of the Alcon's for me as I dont have uber deep pockets

I just hope I don't experience the trouble that Titan is having with his new Alcon setup in the form of judder.
