I would be interested in a front caliper upgrade. I don't feel that the AP CP7040 is really cut out for anything other than very light track duty, it's more of a street, occasional track caliper.
The 2-piece AP rotors have been holding up nicely. I get a full year out of a set of rings, could probably get more with a bit more brake ducting. I'm not sure a full float setup is really warranted on anything other than a full-time race car. I'm willing to look at it if it is part of a package though.

Just to add, I'm interested in front/rear rotors slotted only with black hats. Not sure about full floating with the associated noise and my vehicle primarily driven on the street.

Will be talking to owners about becoming paid advertiser. Can not disclose prices and information about kits until that is settled. Can only get info from you guys on what you want and gauge interest on various components. So keep the suggestions coming. Once everything is settled on my end I will post all relevant info.

Guys, comparing AP and Alcon, it is like comparing bicycle and car. Both are used to drive ...
We have three 370Z track cars, all are used very hard on a track, more than 20 track days each year, and Alcon Superkit with proper pads is the best brake kit what we found. I can't imagine that AP Racing, especially from Forumula Big Brake Kit range, can be in half good even, when we talk about stopping power, and reliability. Please note, Alcon says that Superkit is dedicated for street use |

You can get AP brakes anywhere from $5000 (street) to $50000 (Nascar), so as with anything you buy the level of performance you need. I have had no major issues running the AP street calipers on track (about 15 days a year), my only complaint was related to dust seals which has been mostly addressed with a $100 heat shield. This is no fault of AP, they have plenty of comp calipers in a similar price range, it was Stillen that put together the package and they are primarily street focused.
