Monaro AP discs
Discussion

Lots of good discussion here - and its true its to everyone's taste. I've detailed something that works very well for me.
From my perspective, I use the car for maybe 2500 track-day miles per year, plus about the same on the road. And believe me, it gets well used, too. I've found that the Land Rover discs, together with the appropriate pads offer me better braking than any other vehicle on track, even Caterhams, etc. - probably the only place that I get a real advantage.
I do also have some "insider knowledge", having been in the vehicle design industry for 20+ years now. The discs have been fully tested and carefully monitored. I have the entire braking system analysed in an industry-standard tool for adhesion, bias, etc. - and whilst the AP set-up isn't the best one I've come across, its certainly very good. Saloon cars are very difficult to get right, as there is a large difference between weight split between empty and four people with luggage and fuel.
Hi i see that you are liking the rover disc and i have to ask you are still using the ap racing caliper?From my perspective, I use the car for maybe 2500 track-day miles per year, plus about the same on the road.
