They really do make a difference, especially considering the OEM discs are roughly the same weight ( iirc the AP discs and bells are a kilo lighter) and the OEM calipers are 10kg each!

thanks m8,its all about weight saving on these :wink:
im just hoping theres enough clearance for the superpro adjustable ball joints once there on :evilgrin:

well the front BBK is finally on,ill update with pics tomorrow sometime but thought ill just compare weights etc
Aston calipers 3.5kg Oem calipers 7.5kg saving 3.9kg
AP 362mm discs 9.2kg Oem 330mm discs 11.8kg saving 2.6kg
pads were the same,so a total of 6.5kg per side,not bad :jumpmove:
