POST INTEREST ON THIS THREAD, NOT DUPLICATE

The AP Big Brake conversion will not fit on standard S Spoke wheels.
Even BBR had to use spacers.

[duncanbanana]

The spacers on BBR car look about an 1" (25mm) but there are other brake manufacturers which claim to fit 4 pots underneath standard 17" wheels.
Iam myself looking into big brake conversion and full milltek exhaust

[baradona]

I've read this elsewhere mate, but when I was at AMD they promised to fit APs or Brembos with no spacers, claiming that they'd done both. They have an MC with Brembos so I guess they'd know. Mind you, they did get a few other things wrong, I wasn't best pleased.

baradona,
Where did you read about a bad review of the AP Racing brake kit?
What's not so good about it? Brake bias?

Hi Hubert,

To be fair it wasn't a full review but it wasn't based on brake bias, I think someone said that they were 'weak'. I know that one of the hong kong boys, cwwhk I think, loves his.
I've done a quick search but lots to trawl through - it's all definitely on Mini2 Forums.

I'd imagine brake bias isn't too much of an issue with EBD, and that tyre traction will break first anyhow. Big-brakes are more consistent stoppers rather than much better stoppers - especially at low speeds.

Nonetheless, I've always heard good things about APs (on Cosworths and the like), and am happy to go with the Brodie Bunch's recommendation.

[Root Ginger]

I'd be intersted in a Manifold for my Works.

[Paul Manfredi]

I could be tempted with all three if the price was right!

Any idea about cost, with discount, for each item?

Cheers

Paul

[Hubert]

Thanks baradona, I'll do a search here then

[Darren S]

Might be interested in manifold and/or exhaust...

[JBOO]

Any info on price for both exhaust and manifold?

[baradona]

I went in again today, to AMD. They're going to e-mail me (Monday I hope) with prices for x sales of each item, so we don't need numbers straight away.

However, when I was there recently there was an Audi owner who got £120 off some Brembos as a group buy, so I imagine discounts can be good.
I'll keep you all posted

As an aside, after initial qualms about customer service, they were superb today - very easy and pleasant to deal with. They support an Audi owners' site (they host it on their server), hosted a MKIV golf club-meet today etc...as well as having some sort of agreement with mini-spares so I think we could have a fruitful relationship.

[Ricco]

I might be interested in a manifold and maybe the AP brakes depending on price

[northandy]

I'm currently looking for an exhaust for my S (just the system not manifold)... Miltek currently top of the list so i'd be very interested in prices

[baradona]

No news as yet, I'll chase-up tomorrow morning if I still haven't heard

[northandy]
