AP Racing 4 Piston Brakes

Anyone here have them?
Are they really worth every penny of $3300+? Why?
Not too sure whether the 2 piston 330mm PBR kit will suffice or whether the AP racing is really really really worth it.

Someone please advise me.

Thanks.

I'd stick with the PBR's mate. Some will say they're bigger so they must be better, but the PBR's will be more than adequate for the streets.
Seems brakes are the new bling and people upgrade for bragging rights only. Spend your money elsewhere.

If you plan on doing any track work, then the AP Racing calipers are the way to go. The extra stopping power is easily worth it.

Well guys i got the AP Kit today. Boy are they big! Can't wait to see how they go.

They are worth much more than $3,300 as you get a lot for your money and HSV had them as an option on some of the VZ models for more than double $3,300. Apparently they do give more stopping power than the standard brakes and they fill up the wheels nicely and look great. The only brakes that don't perform as you think they should are the 6 piston AP's as they don't stop any better than the 4 piston brakes unless you use special pads which are illegal on the road and are only good for the track.

I got the red ones for $3180. There are no more red ones in stock. He just got black ones which are exactly the same but rarer and cost a few hundred more.
