Kool kids are going standard these days: http://www.cslregister.com/forum/sho...818#post183818

CSL prices may be rising, but the arse is dropping out of the AP mkt

AP's as you know are a great aftermarket replacement for oem stoppers.

Not cheap especially when coupled with RS29's

But once you've shelled out on the calipers, replacement discs and pads all round for £1130 approx.

They look great behind bad boy black rims.

TrackM3 AKA Martin is your man for all things aftermarket.

Top bloke, very knowledgeable and first rate service.

AP's all round on mine. I absolutely love them! There's a bit of squeal from the RS29 pads but it's minor and the feel through the pedal is great!

Rear APs compliment the look though

+1 decent pads in rear brakes okay for track with AP fronts

I wouldn't know about any other application on our cars other than oem sponge and AP's. I recently installed AP's all around with RS29 pads and all I can say is they are anchors ! Perfect shortened pedal feel, progressive pressure for ease of use in traffic and massive stopping power while you are pushing.
They are a small fortune but well worth it. Our cars should have come from the factory like this.

BBK's are mainly an aesthetic adornment, they look the business.

However mine are still in their box and I run standard with RS29's fitted, no problem - But I don't track it.

No one talking up Alcons? I'm very happy with mine.
