Disks replaced

[Bushy]

The struts are swopped across when MoVits are fitted, otherwise you have to pay £600 for new ones .
Only Problem is if you sell the car they must be sold on it.

These are just the rear struts for the movit set up as they are machined slightly

However as Toasty has an S4 I thought he would have to change his front struts to accept the RS4 discs???

Although not totally sure

What discs and calipres have you got Steve?

I heard from AP Racing and was quoted around £1600 but on RS4.org a few comments were made that they did not wear as well as the Movits?

Well I'm getting a second hand set of Brembo's which as they make all the others anyway I'm pleased.

Will check on S4 compatiability first obviously.

i bought the 6pots + discs(continuous groove type) separately then i used my local brake manufacturer to make the brackets and bells, bells made out of "hard alloy" allowing for different heat dissipation away from disc, on the ap kit the bell is made from same material so keeps the heat longer: as alloy cools quicker the disc temp is lower. clever stuff!

[Bushy]

and how can we all benefit from your experiments?

is it something that you can get several sets made up?

if so

how much

[rs4steve]

will make some enquires into prices, time of manufacturer. what material are your bells made of at the minute? not possible on standard disc as one piece, would be possible on after market setup: im also at minute having some rear ap discs made up to run with the standard calipers.

[Bushy]

be interestred in the rears

currently have movit fronts but not over happy

performance is fine

just the paint is coming off!!

[johneroberts]

Im off to AmD on Wednesday for new rotors as the last ones onnly lasted 7 months
Also MoVit are going to at some point refurbish my front calipers as my paints peeling too.
Its not really good enough for thhat sort of money!!!

Maybe I've been lucky with the Sportec 380mm (Brembo rear), no warped discs or problems of any kind after 22k miles and lots of trackdays, there again I do tend to maintain/service them regularly, even if its just a clean and prep of the pad/disc surface - maybe that's the key?

In any case they all should have a reasonable lifespan in terms of quality and finish, maybe we're asking too much?

Steve, looking forward to seeing your AP's up close, especially in terms of quality and performance compared to us Porsche/Brembo/Movit/Sportec clones
