brakes.

god, thought that stopping was not as good as i thought!
why did they not put 6 pots on, on my last car rb320, i took the brembo's off and put ap's on, it was a revelation the difference that these made, and they saved me twice from certain accidents because of there stopping power over the brembo's!
i take it it's the same with the ceramics over normal porsche brakes?
 
Ceramics are in a league of their own, but I find the standrd 4-pots fine. There aren't strongly servo-assisted, to give more feel, so you need a lot of pedal pressure, but if you step on them they are very effective.
 
... or try Alcon six-pots. Followed shortly by peeling your face off the inside of the windscreen. [&:]

can these be fitted over the disks already on the car, or do you have to replace disks as well,
and how much are these.

we tried to get a car with them on, but never managed to find one unfortunately,
i have been a bit light with the pedal since i have had the car, ap's were very aggressive when pressed firmly[:D]will have to stamp on them a bit harder.
 
(Edit: sorry, misread your post):

No. It's a full upgrade of discs and pads. Get in touch with JZM at Kings Langley. They did the ones on my car for the previous owner.

Ask for the GT2 6-pot front brake conversion. Discs are Alcon, pads are Pagid and the brake lines are replaced. Total price was £2300 ish + vat in 2006.
