Interesting that AP seems to be positioned as the 'flagship', given the F1 success.

Now I can't hate on Brembo anymore, I guess... (only because of Unique Whips)

Ultra blingy brakes + fanboi = crap discussion. This thread is filled to the brim with BS.

Endless no doubt makes quality products, but for that kind of coin you have to be off your rocker if you dont think you are paying for the showoff factor.
I could source a fully functional WRC water-cooled setup or 8-pot stoppers that are even more excessive yet offer better function... rotors included.

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant afford atm but anyone who can, GET THESE!!!!!!!! Expensive but the best of the best.....

Edit......... I just read a few posts that i didnt bother reading befor i too posted..... Dissing them and comparing to other brands... Fair enough they are ridiculously priced, no doubt but no more than ARC was to the chinese knock offs for arguments sake... I cant justify these to anyone but people are buying TRD brake kits even though its well argued and evident to an extent the GT86/FRS/BRZ only needs a pad, oil and lines change to be optimal more than enough track wise.......

This is to me the best brake company in the world...... If i was looking to upgrade which i eventually will be i would love to have got these..... But even i cant afford them..... I would get project-mu, not much cheaper but not AS expensive....... Each to there own........

What is the point of this statement?

To Red Bull's F1 team, plus EVERY winning F1 team since 1967, AP is better. (Brakes and/or clutches.)

That carry's a bit more weight...

That's a little misleading. Red Bull runs Brembo calipers and, I believe, an AP clutch. The teams running AP calipers are, afaik; Williams, Lotus, Force India, Caterham, and Marussia. Basically, half of the teams run Brembo calipers, almost half of the teams run AP calipers (also Brembo, technically), and McLaren are a bunch of weirdos (Akebono). The disc suppliers are more diverse, with several teams being supplied by aerospace contractors like Messier-Bugatti and Hitco instead of Brembo/AP.

I covered my ass with the 'brakes and/or clutches' bit...


My point is basically: 'This is to me the best brake company in the world' is a ridiculous statement.

'They are my favourite brake company in the world.' is far better.
