I would definitely put my money on AP. You won't fail with Brembos too though...

Seeing as I just got my brembos I'd have to say them, i was on the fence about AP though

Do you go to the track?

Unless you are a serious track rat/race car driver, it will be very very hard to actually notice a difference... They are all very good products in their own way.

I agree with you, I didn't get the Brembos for looks, just because I am going to track it

At roughly similar costs now and days, the Brembo option will be the highest quality, least maintenance, and best value,... costing you less in replacement costs and maintenance over time.

If it's a car that will be driven aggressively and pushed hard ont he street or at the track, that makes it a no brainer.

If it's primarily for aesthetics, or to complete a specific look you are going for...with little to no plans of aggressive street or track driving, you'd probably find satisfaction in any of the options already mentioned. Looks wise I'd like to see a vote for the most attractive system. Personally I think the Brembo Monobloc caliper is hands down the sexiest caliper available.

Gary, please support your claims with evidence and data, not the typical marketing BS.

This is a technical sub-forum, so please contribute appropriately. Thank you.
