Re: AP 6 Pot Brakes

[Chris Maresca <ckm@eainet.com>]

I've heard that AP's calipers are not so hot for street use.  The problem
is that they have little resistence to normal street grim and are designed
to be frequently rebuilt... An expensive proposition for everyday use.  A
lot of people seem to use Porsche's big red calipers, which, presumably,
are designed for street use.

I do agree, however, that the AP's are gourgeous, and I would love to have
a pair on my car...
