AP rear brake fitment ?

whopwop · 23-02-2009, 07:07 PM

Got the rear AP's in the post today.
Is it a fairly straight forward job ( as in d.i.y. ) or how difficult are they to install.
I have the AP setup on the front and have been told its a ''bolt on job'' for the rears, is it that simple , surely not .

It is relatively straightforward but the rear disc shields need trimming/cutting back slightly i think.

I have just had AP fronk kit fitted, do you think that it makes a big difference having the rear AP's as well ?

no

adds a bit of balance i think when you learn to use them but otherwise it just looks nice

As Shimmy said, I don't think they make a massive difference but they complete the look.
I'll let you know when I have tested them, track day organized in a few weeks time.

Ditto. I'm a tart so had the rears fitted too

it is a bit like having matching boots and handbag!

every time you go out everybody will look at them and ask you why they dont match like you are weird or something

How much do the rears generally cost, fitted?
