The AP stuff is very hardcore, and weighs the same as a bag of maltesers, anything 350mm+ and 32mm thick+ will weigh twice as much as a 330x28
330x28 pro 5000 setup with some ducting would be unbeatable, Bryan's setup also comes with some RS4-2 Blues
I think I got caliper/carrier/pad/disc/bell/fittings to under 10kg per corner - awesome
Caparo is Caparo - AP Racing is AP Racing - Brembo is Ap Racing
When you mean AP stuff, you mean AP Racing or AP Caparo?
Pro 5000 caliper are (without pads) about 2,5 kg for 4 pots and 3,5 kg for 6 pots
330x32 and 356x32 are about (without pads) 6,5 kg
A complete weight per side for a VWR Brake assembly is 11.96kg per side (disc and bell weight 7.04kg, and the caliper weighs 4.92kg) I don't know if caliper weight include pads and bracket or not.
So I assume that full ( rotors, bells, calipers, pads, bracket) brakes weight are very close to each other.
The problème with PRO 5000 is that you have to chose the calipers the rotors and moreover what about rotor bell and caliper mounting bracket specification?
How do you manage it?
I'm surprised about what you write about VWR service as I had a very good experience with them.
They've always been helpful to me too, but others have had issues. It's got to be a consideration given you're so far away and you've no other choice if you have a problem with VWR.
I understand you, but I gave them my car one year ago for one month, they completly removed my drive train to fit a full K04 turbo kit and a Quaife LSD in my DSG gear box.
And I have no issue with it. It works brillantly after more than 10 000km.
So as VWR brake are made by AP CAPARO which is a big company, that brakes are pretty simple in term of number of parts. I don't realy worry about issue.
Moreover those brakes are used in VWR Cup so I can be sure they will handle my track use.
