[QUOTE="ShelbyGuy, post: 4632697, member: 10042"] i bet the ap kit is slightly better: its pad is wider, and the bridge bolt makes the caliper stiffer. ideally, one wants the widest pad that fits on the rotor. the ap pads have more overall pad area. i'd be interested to see how thick they are, though. thickness matters not just for longevity, but repeatability - a thinner pad allows more heat to penetrate the caliper so they're harder on the brake fluid. if the brembo pads are significantly thicker (3mm or more) then i'd stick with the brembos. you'll outbrake the ap users by the middle of the session if thats the case. thicker rotors and thicker pads mean more than rotor diameter and piston count/size.
