Try Compbrake Patrick, they actually supply AP with there discs, speak to Stephen Fell, tell him i put you onto them, not sure on the disc you want cost wise but the 330x28 are just under £150 inc per side,

I have corrected you before about Compbrake supplying AP. AP have never sourced their discs from Compbrake according to AP. They make one of the worst fitting and poorly make brake kits you can imagine, I did a right up on one of their kits on T5D5. IIRC 7 out of 8 bleed nipples leaked, the discs didn't fit the bells, one of the mounting bolts broke before reaching the correct torque, the calipers were incorrectly spaced for the discs, the discs caught the bottom ball joint, one brake pipe had no threads on it. I could go on but I think you get the picture.

I would not use Compbrake if you want to stop your car.

Hi Patrick

Not sure if you have sorted some discs out but we can get the proper AP discs in drilled or grooved as follows:

Drilled £215.00 plus vat each

Grooved £205.00 plus vat each

You will also need new nuts/bolts to fit the discs to the bells and each kit is £10.00 each

If i can help please let me know....

Default AP replacement discs.

The best I can do, from stock, is £189 per genuine grooved disc, plus £10 per pack of new nuts, bolts and washers, one pack per disc is needed to do a proper job. Plus VAT at 15% with carriage charged additionally at cost.

Regards, Don.
