and

hope this work

neat, understated yet anyone seeing those AP calipers would know it's serious - like it.

Dam...

The photos I should of never seen.

Stuart,

What offest are the wheels?

Looks very nice btw

Although I'm not too keen on the wheels, those brakes look awesome! Very nice !

Very, very nice!!! I can only dream..........:(

I like the wheels - gotta have plenty of space to show off those brakes!!

Wouldn't be Swissol on the paintwork by any chance? :D

Very nice...

Thanks Paul for posting the pics & thanks all for the comments

Jon, Wheels are either et35 or 38 not sure, sounds silly I know but I chose the cheapest 17" that I liked & then borrowed a wheel to take to Ian Godney & had the brakes made to suit, calliper to spoke clearance is about 4mm.

Howard, yep Swissoled it is

Stuart

no probs... how much wor they if u dont mind me asking? (brakes)

Paul,

For prices you are best talking to Ian Godney direct as it depends on exactly what you want.

He is currently doing a Brembo option which is slightly less but I personally am not mad on Red Callipers & also whilst both are 4 pots the pads are quite a bit larger in the AP therefore my logic was bigger pad gives more braking area.

I could have gone 6 pot but I thought that was overkill as I dont think std tyres would give enough grip to justify the extra

have mailed him.... as my calipers are green i dont give a toss on colour

But if you changed the colour then they wouldn't match your neons... :p

Rob.

but they will match your bruises if you carry on;)

I was just saying...

Rob.

Not fussed about callipers but I really do like those wheels. Shouldn't the side repeaters be smoked?

Denis,

Trying to keep it looking as standard as possible so no more external mods at the moment, a couple of people have suggested window tints as well but again thats moving away from the script.

The wheels were changed as I could not fit the brakes into the 16" wheels & were chosen on price as much as looks although I must admit I am glad I changed them & they each cost about

The only down side at the moment is the car is standard power wise so looks like the trip to Peterborough needs to be booked but it was always my intention to improve the brakes & handling before adding more horses

I admire your forward thinking and resistance to temptation to having the work done the RIGHT way round !

I will say that the 4x4's (soft) chassis copes admirably well with the 150 - 220 power hike ( provided that you drive half sensibly).

When you go to Crowland, you should find that the power 'slots-in' very nicely indeed to your modified platform.

I'm also sticking with the stealth approach - that's half of the appeal after Subaru ownership

On the subject of AP V Brembo, aren't the sealing against the elements better on Brembos than APs?

Just thinking of how long before they need a rebuild, thats all. And when you so Godney, is that the fella from godspeed?

MeatballTurbo

These are the new AP 4 pots & AP have aparently redesigned the seal due to this very problem.

I agree the old ones had a reputation for problems with road use.

Time will tell if they have got it right

Yes , Ian Godney is "the man from Godspeed". I had his brakes on the Scoob before & was very pleased, hense why I used him again
