Could be because my discs are heat spotted so I reserve judgement until they are replaced, but the first time I pressed on well into triple figures I managed to get brake fade and that was just doing 145 to 70, then 90 to 0 in short order. Considering these are supposedly a massive improvement over stock that's a bit of a worry

TR is going to be the big test, clearly the brakes work as Roger had her upto 180 at Brunters and didn't stack her into the earth banking. Ducting sounds interesting, any Idea what opinions are available?

Be aware overcooling ap's can cause problems in itself madrod (200mph+ cosworth)hadf problems with ap discs cracking as they were being overcooled  Many ro drivers upgrade to ap's so they notice a massive improvement over the stock stuff & for most they are ok, there are differant ap calipers for track work though which are better.
