A mate fitted a set to a mustang and they certainly looked good quality.

Given the price of AP`s fitted and balanced and as a complete kit on the car they don`t sound too cheap for front only by the time you`ve paid to have them fitted and set up. (Which really could be a long ongoing project)

Diy they sound ok though.

was looking at these too....don't have AP money at the moment, but will need to replace the discs fairly soon, as they're pretty worn...

These turned up in a thread last week:

I think Stig had a valid point re drilled discs. This seller seems to be pretty close to me locally.

330mm isnt that large. I think AP are like 345mm or so front.

Im sure i read my AP's are 356mm.

[ringram]

Yeah they probably are..

Their catalog lists a 355mm option http://www.stoptech.com/Products/img/StopTechAppGu...
So skip the 330's and see what the 355mm price is

[jamiep]

Yea the sellers lists the 355 kit for £1800

The big AP kit is 385mm fronts, with something like 365mm rears....


lets not forget that causes spare wheel issues though.

AP Kit as supplied by monkfish for the Monaro CV8 and VXR:

363mm 6 pot front
342mm 4 pot rear

Stoptech are generally excellent TBH
