It's cheaper up front, but the pads are smaller, while costing more, and the replacement rotors also cost more. The AP Sprint retains factory bias, includes lines, and has more heat dissipation capacity. The catch is that it's a race part, and not suitable for street use in any part of the country that sees road salt or snow.
The cost of consumables are likely moot for a street car, but for a car that sees any track time *at all* at ANY level of skill, there will be a big difference in consumable cost. By the time you do your first pad change on the AP, you've already made up the difference in initial cost.
Oh, and we're also comparing new vs used. Kinda like a S2000 vs FRS debate.
