Brembo supplies brakes to Porsche, and Audi for the S8 and RS6. Brembo is also a supplier to many top tier racing programs including F1. In my opinion it's a no brainer, Brembo is best. However, with all modifications personal preference rules. Whatever your descision is, call us we can help you out with all your performance tuning needs!

Default AP supplies brakes to ABT DTM TT racecar

Granted we are talking about their street kit from brake-pros but AP does go a long way back as does Brembo. Both are great brakes. For me and others the question is about fit on a specific TT.

Just recalled something told to me at Stillen and after a search found that Brembo may actually own AP as of now. See <a href="http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/cm200001/cmselect/cmtrdind/128/128ap14.htm">Link and scan down page</a>. "Brembo of Italy purchase AP Racing of Coventry"<ul><li><a href="http://www.whel.de/Cars/abt_tt-r_2002_specs_en.html">http://www.whel.de/Cars/abt_tt-r_2002_specs_en.html</a</li></ul>

Default I got my AP's at Brake-pros......

and the story is that they used to be the distributer for Brembo and still sell Brembo but Stillen preferred the AP's to Brembo on his modified 350z's. For me the AP was the absolute lowest profile caliper and fit under my wheels. A bonus was it was lightest as well.

I prefer the Bimbo brakes. They don't work quite as well, but they can be a lot of fun!
