Blimey. Are they the same AP's that everyone over here is running around on, having paid rather more (myself included...)?

Ive emailed them to ask about UK shipping.
I don't believe they are the same. I think the AP's sold here are 6 piston and might have larger disks?
These look like the same as the old 4 door hsv's had stock. Not quite as good as the local AP's but well up on the standard stuff.

Don't think so as they are only 4-pots (I have this kind of setup from LSV, two piece front AP disks, 2 x 4pot AP calipers and AP rear discs that use the standard calipers) but think the big AP kit done by LSV, Greens and Monkfish runs 6 pots front and 4 pots rear and dustbin lid size discs. I opted for the 4pots (As LSV had a secondhand set with no wear at all pretty cheap at the time) because I take it to europe and if I blow a tyre (which will happen one day) then I can use the spare without doing the breakdown thing in some hidden carpark with two rubber marks all over it, which could be difficult to explain when the old bill turn up.
