Is it ok to use oem discs with AP 6 pots ?

No you need bigger discs, AP or PF

avoid yellow stuff pads or anything from EBC. they are shite and they crumble.

you mean these ones: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...ts-bbk/1320029

ok on cars under a tonne but CSL is not.

if you are going APs then go Pagid. not point in cutting corners.

No Contest, just couldn't live with that colour

I'm quite happy on my KSport kit with EBC Bluestuff pads... Leaps and bounds better than std.

I'd rather have just AP fronts. their obsession with high piston count is pure marketting led BS...

I have brembo 6 pot front and 4 pot rears. I couldn't agree more with the comment about pagid pads for the track, for street I'm running hawk hps pads. Pagids are good but overkill on a street car. I'm not familiar with any other BBK kits other then stop tech and brembo, but your guys AP's look up to par. Plus with AP's I heard you guys won't need to run spacers up front, not sure if that's true. I'm running OEM csl wheels and to clear the 6 pot front caliper I had to go with a 10 mm spacer. Had I known this myself before I got my BBK kit, I probably would have went with AP's myself.
