    AP racing brake kit

    Im sure this kit is sexual and looks amazing but its way too much overkill. A Kit costing £1800+vat could get me 6 pairs of standard Red Brembos from Renault that would out see the life of the car. The maintenance on these if changing discs & Pads will be more than a timing belt kit :flushed:
