Custom 4 piston Ap brake kit

[///meric]

im building a custom brake kit from the best brake company in the world which is ap so i would like to know if any of you guys would like to get a kit with me seeing as im going to have to machine custom rotor hats and custom caliper mounts and the cost will be cheaper for me if i get several orders together

the kit will be jsut like this set up but with 4x100 hats

Not worth the money.

So many cheaper and just fine alternatives out there.

[///meric]

cheaper yes as good as AP nope

[grapedrink]

I may be interested in something like that. Let me know.

The rev founder is right on this one
you can swap to 5 lug 95 M3 conversion for like a grand+wheels and tires and with Jordan's documented stopping times of around 100-120(depending on tires, etc.) I dont know if AP's kit would be worth it although just swaping to 2 piece rotors would be a welcome change. My 2c

Yea but those who don't want to go through the hassle of doing the lug swap etc this could be a nice alternative. That $1k you spend on the swap could be spent on a brake set-up. You would have to buy new rims on either swap so thats a wash but then comes the labor and time. I am going BBK 4 lug just because labor sucks.

Install it yourself? Brakes are easy.

10% of the community thinks they need BBKs
1% maybe could make use of them
none need something that serious

most people who think they need bigger brakes are idiots. better pads. better tires. possibly brake ducts for the track. but most go for BBKs first....because the F&F culture rules America.


cool, but overkillllllllllllllllll

If you work for AP I am sure you can. I was talking to grapedrink who mentioned labor is so much...

[///meric]

labor is always a ripe off the only labor for this kit is the custom machining

[nefarious7907]

brakes are probably one of easiest things to work on, and I have seen at least two dozen escalades with brembo big brake kits on them in my area but I cant recal seeing an escalade/ ext at the track ... ever

Big brakes are overrated on an e30 unless you have over 500 whp and track daily.. just upgrade your pads & rotors then let your driving ability take you the rest of the way!
