Can someone from their personal experience comment one which one would you prefer based on cost, performance and looks for street to HPDE type activities.

Thanks

They are all good. Regardless of the price of the kit research the price of pads and rotors before you buy.

Check out RacingBrake.com also. No personal experience, but it looks like they have some cool ideas.

As far as making a decision, take mental notes at the track your HDPEing at. What are most of the racers (dedicated track cars) running? My observation is that the majority of them are running StopTech There website is also by faaaaaaaaar the most informative, they obviously understand what their product is supposed to do.

I just bought used stoptechs, but if one has the coin for AP by all means go for it.

Thanks for the response.

Its bugging me that I can not find the site where I found the AP Racing brakes for under 6Gs 15" front and 14" rear. I saw the site, never stored it and now I cant remember where I found them.

Based on that price, It was about 1k cheaper for similar brembos.

So for similar size brakes, what would be the best price for each kit?

Good morning~

We currently have a complete 4-wheel StopTech BBK in stock that is still new in the boxes that we'd be willing to let go for $3300 shipped for everything. (wayyyy under dealer costs!)

If you're interested, please drop me an email and I'll send you all the details of the kit, part numbers, what's included in the kit, pictures, etc., etc. for your review.

EVERYTHING is in this complete kit and it directly fits any base C6 Corvette with or without Z51. Have a nice weekend and I'll be checking my emails/phone messages throughout the Holiday weekend.

This sounds way too cheap to be true. There is only a hand full of AP corvette kit builders. I haven't heard of a 15-14 inch setup before with the AP calipers. I know AP doesn't build a kit like that.

I've only seen the 14.25" AP front calipers for sale. Brembo and Stoptech make the 15" fronts, not sure if anyone else does.
