Rear Brakes from AP

Hi John,

Have you tried ?

Is it everything ready ? front floating disc and this rear brake ?

How much for the F & R brake kits ?

PM me, please.

Ken from HK

They want to get the fronts sorted out before they try and make the rears

The performance of these brakes is absolutely amazing. Also, the front disc has been changed due to noise and now there's no noise at all. The front brakes are suitable for RS4, S4 and A4 (for the A4 you will need larger wheels). The front brakes are ready for anyone who wants to purchase them straight away, but the rear will still take a few weeks. The RS4 price for the front brakes is £1,605.44, the rear not yet known. The S4 front brakes £1,605.44, rear not knows. The A4 front brakes £1,331.60 (for 17inch wheels only), rear not known. S3 front brakes £1,331.60 (four pot caliper), £1,605.44 (six pot caliper) rear not known, Audi TT £1,605.44 four and( six pot caliper). They all come in either red or black colour.

The front brakes have been ready for some time! I had mine from AP Racing last March. The only issue they had was the noise from the floating discs but now this has been rectified.

Cheers

I had a drive of John's car the other night - simply excellent... they knock the spots of my Porkers on performance - i nearly shot thru the windscreen when braking in John's car! well done John.

Are these the floating fronts you're talking about ? - ie. different to the ones that PhilT and Ken have fitted ??

John, where's the best place to buy these from - direct from AP?

Thanks, Nige.

Dave,

They are floating ones but they are completely different to what you saw on Phil and Ken's cars. They've been used on Aston Martins and Mitsubishi Evo and others without any problems.

PS Web site isn't allowing me to upload any more pics, but you can see all of them on my gallery.

Just got off the phone from Pete at AP, THESE BRAKES ARE NOT READY YET but are coming in the next 4-6 weeks they have however, been sanctioned from above and prices have also been released. Spookily they are now part of Brembo and are using some parts from the Brembo range

kc

Ooh...that's interesting Ken....gonna force me into a tough decision when I've saved some money !!

I though that Brembo actually own AP

John,

As I remember, the projected price for F&R kit was talking about GBP2300 range and GBP100 up for floating,which is really attactive to me.
But, per your input,the floating front is GBP1600 and the rear is even more expensive than the whole F&R kit will be at GBP3500 to 4000 range which is ALOT more than projected.

Anyway to arrange a group buy here to get better price ?

Also, is the new floating front brake available from STOCK ? Can I book for the rear kit ? if you can get a good price for both F&R.

Thanks,
Ken

I had a call from AP Racing today and have been informed that in about two-three weeks time the new design front brakes kit will be available to purchase. The price will be 1,700 GBP plus vat. The rear kit will still be another few months.

With regard to group buyers they'll definitely be able to give a discount.

Just to let you know, I used the new front and rear brakes at Bedford Autodrome on Friday, where there are lots of twists and turns as well as the long straight where I was braking from 140mph and they performed brilliantly. I didn't have a single problem. After the track on the way back home, they performed as well as before. You wouldn't know you had just come off the track!
