AP RACING BBK Review!

Josh@STILLEN · 01-18-2011, 12:50 AM

You have to remember that pennies make differences on assembly lines, and the percentage of "true" enthusiasts 0.01% of your level will push the car too..

You have 90% of people driving your exact car will complain about brake squeaks.. interior rattles.. road noise.. intake noise.. and everything under the sun you LOOK FOR in the same car..

And both Brembo and Akebono could produce (and do) much better systems.. but when you bring the bean counters into the equation.. everything gets compromised..

Which is also why you only see AP traditionally on supercars, where those compromises turn into selling points.

I think we're up to 9 out of 10 cars on the UK Top Gear test track are running AP Racing.. but that list can change here and there. But you're dealing with the Zonda's and Gumperts and Bugatti's of the world. Cost goes out the equation..
