Chris Wilson Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Definitive answers come from: http://www.apracing.com/ But... As AP now own Brembo, and Brembo make a rear kit, technically, yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hmm, AP website says no. But what have we here? http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?id=APBRKIT4P&c=BR&year=&make=&model= Intriguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Officially, no they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Brembo actually own AP. Indeed Brembo is the owner of the Brembo, AP Racing and Marchesini brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 so you dont know everything then chris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Bit of a strange one this, because AP DO in fact make a rear kit and a bigger front one too than is listed on the Uk website. But, it's only available from the US distributer for some reason - they have a different model line-up available over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 If that's the case then it will be a marketing and licensing issue...ie an exclusivity deal. Like the Cosworth and JUN one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I got a response from AP regarding the TOMs kit, just said they were only available through TOMs because of licensing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy AP's from an American company it specifically states on the box it cannot by exported from the US. Don't ask me how I know this Regards, Gaz.

TLicense Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Have just ordered a set of the Stillen rears. Will let you all know how I get on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Nice one Tony, they will ship them over here then. I'll be interested how you get on. Did you just order them straight off the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Yup, straight from the Stillen website. See how I get on I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Looks like it's not a problem as I've just received an e-mail from Margaret at Stillen saying she's just working out the shipping and that I should double double check the fitment.

TLicense Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Brakes arrived today. Oddly enough, no Stillen branding on them at all, just AP, which is good as it will go with my AP fronts 'xcuse my shakey-hand photography:- Will probably have a go at fitting them next week sometime, but it's a fairly simple install.

Chris Wilson Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 What diameter rear discs are they Tony? Same as stock, or bigger? They look the business, very nice! When you need new rear discs AP may do a floating version, which would probably reduce pad knock back if you do track days with it. Some floaters will go on a stock type, round bolt hole bell.

SimonB Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Wow, that was quick! The rears are 13inch Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yeah, they're 13". To be honest, they're exactly the same design as the 6 pot front's I have, so should compliment them excellently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Wow! looking great! Btw, they have shipped it fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
