Fitting AP Racing Formula Brake Kit

Rezmund · 13-11-2007, 01:00 PM

Hey guys/gals,

I've received my front 6-pot kit for the CSL but also plan to purchase the AP Racing rear caliper upgrade kit fairly soon.

If I go ahead and fit the front kit and then fit the rear caliper upgrade kit a month or so later say will I have to change the fluid and bleed the brakes again?

If so should I wait to do all four brakes at once?

Appreciate any tips/advice on this.

If you can wait? it will be easyer doing them all at once.
but you can fit the fronts, and bleed them all no problem,
and you should not lose a lot of fluid
when you do fit the backs.

Cheers Mark, will bear your advice in mind.

I would wait and do them all at the same time.

It can do but costs more. I just went for the caliper upgrade and will keep the rear discs as mine are in good nick.
