Does anybody on here have any experience with larger front brake upgrades? I'm currently in a dilemma between the bowler/alcon 4 pots with 355mm discs je engineerings ap racing 6 pots with 360mm discs or twisted / alcon 6 pots with again, large discs
Price wise the bowlers are the least expensive and I'm sure they are more than up to it, I just had my heart set on 6 pots, does anyone know any others? I'm not really interested in the tarox option Still waiting for a price on the twisted / Alcons[/s] |

I'd stick to the Bowler versions.

Twisted Alcons aren't far off 2x the price of the bowler/ alcon 4 pots, I'll probably go with the bowler's or if Ian can swing me with the ap racing I'll go with them, my father is set on ap racing so we will wait and see

Can't beat APs, IMHO. What size wheels are necessary for them to fit under, & are AP rear calipers available as well as a balanced kit? Pickles. |

666, difference is approx £700
Andrew, because of the size of the discs not much fits under the 16" with the huge availability in tyres in 18" now would that not be a option? I guess the only thing is load rating ? |

Pickles, rear kits are available.. It's about £3500 + vat for a front and back set so for now I'll stick with front
