Not a lot of diff between the two, I have AP's on mine with RS29's in, and did run the Alcon set up on my Race Car ( M3 ) and TBH, was no real world difference, the Alcon's look better, bigger on the rears but buy on price, and bed them in properly and you'll be fine with both.

AP's have a slightly better bite initially compared to the Alcon's where you have to stand on them a bit more, but for road and occasional tracking you'll never notice the diff

ive got the alcons on mine and had ap,s on a subaru.wouldn`t say there`s a lot in it but the pads are easier to change on the ap`s and the alcons do look better.
