I am glad there are many motorsport fans and people who can appreciate fine engineering and art.

I'm quite positive they are involved in every level of professional motorsports including Nascar, grand am, etc. Here is a shot of a Nascar Sprint Cup setup. Quote:
Their Formula 'street' kits are something you can consider. They cost around the same as a Brembo GT kit if I recall correctly. Last edited by Halitosis; 08-16-2012 at 01:01 AM.. |

Wow! That's an incredible collection of photos. I was drooling the whole time, and I have AP on my M3!! They are incredible on the track. The pedal feel never changes, no matter how much you pound on them.
If you don't mind, here's my addition of my humble car. My calipers are a one-off gloss black/yellow paint job from the factory. |

Thank you OP for posting it, and thank you Jason for featuring it on the first page !! Totally deserve!! I wonder if you are not the single english marketing Engineer from AP whether or not, you did a very good job at advertising and showcasing the history and pedigree of the company!! I am sold and am convince now... I thought Brembo was the best but no more! Looking forward to seeing more AP products on cars OP: you wrote Bugatti Beyron here below is a compilation of my LOL favorite posts reading this thread: Is it weird that i agree? Quote:

Can someone explain to me why some discs have grooves that look like small fish-hooks? Instead of the normal grooves

I love this thread. I used to work for AP Lockheed in the 1980's/early 90's and has brought back lots of fond memories.

The advantage to PFC is that their consumer grade stuff is much closer to their race stuff than most others (not many other consumer kits use monoblocks). Of the AP and Brembo kits I've seen for street cars and weekend racers few have anything in common with their race tech. It is still good quality and I would run them for sure. AP does have a corner on the esoteric market of F1 and LMP but we could be waiting decades for that to trickle down. Nice thread though and awesome pics. How fun it would be to squeeze the binders on these works of art. |
