AP Brakes
AP Calipers are my choice, just purchased the road versions with dust seal, part numbers 5570, 6pot radial caliper for my front 330mm rotors and 5200 4 pot caliper for the rear 304mm rotors, the rear calipers would be excellent on the front of most cars with a 132mm x 57mm pad differential pistons, they are physically the same size as the 5570, but they have a 150mm x 53mm pad.
The 5200 cost me NZ$810 all up, which is only a hundred dollars or so more than a Wilwood, the fronts were NZ$1200, and the guy recommended Pagid Blue 4-2 pads for the rear, these are hi perf road and rally, and I am trying the new RS5 Blue on the front, from what I can gather Pagid are the top choice pad in motorsport, they also make compounds like I have mentioned that suit both road and medium/heavy track use, as changing backwards and forwards can cause bedding in issues!

I am running Compomotive 17" knock off wheels, rears are 12" wide, front are 10" wide, certainly doesnt look like it needs more tyre!

They are great looking calipers indeed.
But will they fit under a 15 inch wheel ? |
