Greatings form cold Russia :D
I need help guys, cant figure what brakes to buy. Movit's 380mm or the AP Racing brake kit (talking about front). The only thing i wonder is that AP are only 364mm too small i think, standards are 360. But AP is more professional brand then Movit( i mean the don’t do brakes for all sort of cars, like brembo they only produce extreme sport), Movits are brembo from Porsche gt2 as i now. Also perforations (with every day use they are not always clean) of the movit disk and thickness only 32 mm (AP are 36mm!) do not sound great. SO what do you guys think? i am confused and need a good advice, maybe some one have AP's, because i have driven Movit's its great but a little mmm...how do say it, a little soft maybe (i have driven Noble with AP brakes and liked it more).
Thanks to every for upcoming help :D

Which caliper is in the AP kit? (if it were me, I would go with AP for the reasons you state - no
disrespect to Movit for effectively reselling very, very good Porsche/Brembo brakes)

AP's for me too, pure sport. Movit very nice but they are more temporal no hard feelings to Movit fans :wink: By the way, I’ve tried both of them on RS4 and even Alkon on RS6. All very similar, very very good (they all make you stop :lol: ), but still my choice would be AP.

Go with the kit that you can get best support locally. IMO Movit does not use porsche brakes anymore. Guys here in Finland have the Movit 370 6piston kits. IIRC that kit also fits 18in wheels if you need to drive on bad roads or track you car. You can also choose what kind of pad you want. It makes a lot of difference. I got street pads just because they dont squel and still they where fine at the track.
