As for a comparison vs. the Brembo discs being used in the GT systems...to my knowledge they are straight-slot, 48 vane discs with a zinc coating. We are using J Hook, 72 vane (front) and 60 vane (rear) discs in our system. I don't believe there is anything on the market that holds up as well to heavy track use as AP's heavy duty racing discs. In professional racing, it's not uncommon to see teams that are being paid to run other manufacturers' calipers running AP Racing discs 'on the down low.' They do so for a reason.

The mounting system/float mechanism is basically the same between the Brembo and AP discs.

The hats and brackets in both systems are of comparable quality, but I believe our Spiegler SS brake lines are higher quality.

I think that sums it up...oh, and the Brembo's cost more on both the initial purchase and for spare discs.
