I have recently fitted APs front and rear and find them awesome. Only done 1 track day at Castle Combe so far with them though. I will fit PF discs when the time comes as these are generally accepted as the best for the AP setup.

Alcons look pretty cool though but i'm sure there is little difference in performance? Both are well respected

£ for £ the AP's with PF disc's are hard to beat, rears are nice to look to look at but unnecessary. Alcons good, but will be more expensive (no prices in any posts.....) Have you ever seen a comment complaining about AP's? I use them on my race car and CSL with on problems

I currently have standard brakes. I want to get at least 1 trackday in to compare standard before I buy an upgrade. Very interesting thread.

the standard brakes are useless on track

Yes, well not useless. If you're really hard on the brakes, some short circuits with plenty of fast to very slow areas (Donnington etc) will make them overheat and fade. However std brakes at places like the 'ring would be fine because it is lots of high speed (and hence cooling air) and not much really heavy braking. The better you are at the 'ring, the less braking you do anyway...
