What's the best front brake set up?
Need to replace my front discs this month..
Been seeing alot of people speak about AP discs - are they better than the OEM brembo ones?
Also - any advice about EBC red stuff pads - how much better are they then standard / are they good? Or to be avoided?
Thanks

Where did you source yours?
Also why had you gone for yellowstuff over redstuff?

If you're up for a project there's a full set off an Alfa in the for sale section that I'm dying for some to fit. 400mm fronts from memory. Just need to find someone to engineer some brackets.

Re: What's the best front brake set up?
I picked up a mint set here for 2.5k. Usually they're around 4K though if you can find them. Or do what Doug and other members have done, but a second car. There's also another member who just fit a set of 400mm ceramics off another Rs I believe but cant remember the fine details. They weren't cheap though but will look amazing.
