....Over 80,000 miles since 2006 on mine without issue.


have you ever had yours rebuilt robin or serviced. If not i suppose thats an added bonus


....Neither rebuilt nor serviced so far - Only new discs and pads (originally supplied with DS2500's and now AP's own pads).



This thread explains the type of seals used:

We got there in the end!

had three of these kits that I've just job lotted to Benjamina at Shark, I think retail for the CP5200-1056 is about £1720 plus VAT now which to be honest isn't great value, epic brakes on a stage 2/2+ Gti and they weigh about the same as a bag of maltesers.

Think Bens doing them for £1680 inc VAT plus pads plus fitting at his place mahoosive choice of pads

I've been running AP's CP5200 kit since 2006 and can't fault them for fast road use and occasional trackday use. I now use AP's own pads.

I also have S3 rear brakes (supplied by DaveB) and this delivers extremely well-balanced and powerful brakes on the Mk5 GTI.

What has Shark done? Just put a sticker on them?
