Welcome to the site mate. They dont come cheap probably close to what you paid for the car for a set of AP's but will provide some decent braking power 8)

The standard turbo calipers have a lot of breaking power. make sure you do the math before you buy anything or its easy to end up with bigger looking yet weaker breaks :)

Hi mate

Mine are the AP racing sixpot calipers and 355mm discs they cost me £1400 from HERE I got all i needed to fit the car inc brackets so they just bolt straight on

The brakes work great and you can get the calipers in black and red with either 355 or 335mm discs dont forget you will have to change your wheels if you have standard ones on :)

Sounds like a good price just make sure the calipers clear the wheels or you will need spacers :)
