It had the 6 piston caliper up front that was cast 1 piece and the rear alcon
rotor with XP8 pads all around.

When factoring in the cost of both AP Racing parts and Alcon I would much rather sell AP Racing parts due to the quality of the components and better design of them. It is much easier for me to properly design a kit with AP racing parts taking into consideration many different variables to offer kits that have the correct bias front to rear.

I'm with you there, the depth of the AP Racing product line is simply astounding, front street cars to F1 and everything in between. I'm still loving my Stillen AP Racing setup, the only complaint is the dust boots on the front calipers, we'll see if the titanium shims help a bit. At some point I'll go to a full floating setup but not worth it just yet.

Did the kit you bought come with anti-knockback springs fitted?

Oddly enough it did for the rear and not for the front. Added my own to the front during my end of season caliper rebuild.
