I will be getting APs as they are a bigger than JCW brake allowing better cooling but are a road brake so less prone to squeeling and corrosion. I am not a heavy driver of my car as my style is quite fluid... not nessesarily fastest for the track but it suits me.

Mind if I ask you were you got the info on the Stoptechs.

I admit they can be a bit squeally if not properly used for some time (one good stop solves this).

Not read anything about corrosion issues anywhere on t'internet though.
