AP 6Pot/4Pot BBK: Comp. Grey
I am changing classes with my track car and can no longer run the big brakes. I've owned these for less than one year, they have 6-30 minute races and probably 10 test days on them. They were rebuilt before the last race with AP rebuild kits
Brakes are amazing, absolutely no fade, even without ducting. I have a few different pad combinations which will be included as well. Kit is as follows: AP Racing 6 Pot caliper- Competition grey, slotted 2 piece rotors AP Racing 4 Pot caliper- Competition grey, slotted 2 piece rotors Goodridge ss brake lines Pads: 1 set used Mintex extreme (Came with brakes) 1 set (barely) used Raybestos ST 47 front, ST 43 rear ($295 each) 2 set front used Carbotech XP20 (~$340 each) 1 set new/ 1 set used rear carbotech XP10 (~300 each) Condition: Calipers are in perfect mechanical condition, and were just rebuilt. Front calipers have some discoloring from heat but this will happen with any caliper that is used on the track. Rear calipers appear brand new. Front rotor discs are nearing the end of their lives but should be good for a few more track weekends depending on how hard they are driven. I was looking to replace them after the next race weekend at Laguna. Rear rotors are perfect. I will get photos up on Sunday. The car is in the garage right now and I am too busy until then to go over and snap photos. Brakes will be off the car on 5/15. Asking $3500, buyer pays shipping.

19"s yes. Enkei 18" I would think they would. I am running 18" Enkei NT03+m and have plenty of clearance. Stillen does have a little template you can download and use to check though.

Pics will be up Sunday. If you need pics before then, PM me your email and I will send some from my phone, though I don't feel comfortable posting them because they are not completely current.

I understand why you are doing this if you have a points system like NASA and are trying to stay PTA/TTA... but keep in mind you may want to go to the next level up like NASA ST1/TTS, in which case you'll want these puppies back!
Any event, GLWS! awesome price |

Yeah, it's hard to go back. I'm running SCCA and am trying to build a nationally competitive car. Car does alright regionally in STO but without a built motor and a few other high dollar items, it will get slaughtered at nationals.
I know I'll regret parting with these but it's the only thing that makes sense for this season. |

does SCCA allow cooling ducts? You might be ok with the sport brakes if they do.

Yeah, I can run ducting in T2. The sport brakes should be fine, it will just be a different experience. It's a nice confidence boost being able to outbrake 90% of the other people on track.

I know, I think that late breaking is the only reason I am fast sometimes. (I run Stoptech Trophy's)

Stoptech's are also great brakes. There were definitely times when these brakes were the only reason I was able to make a pass; running even through the entire track and then being able to dive bomb someone with lesser braking made these worth it the first race of the season.
