Anyone running ap racing 6pot/4pot
Hey everyone! Brakes are getting toasted and it's time to redo them soon, I found a deal on ap racing calipers with pads, no rotors. So I'll have to source the 370/360 rotors, do these require a master cylinder upgrade of any sort ?

I think those are designed to work with the original master cylinder. Although one could make the argument that F80 M3/M4 cars could use an upgrader aftermarket brake system if tracked pretty hard. |

No. Lol The price of them, with also needing to do a full rotor replacement as they were on their last turn, it just got me thinking. The cost of the calipers, plus pads, 1200 shipped That's nearly what people ask for blue calipers with pads involved. I'm 2014 m sport with greys and the single piston rear, I obviously would love a little color and upgrade in my life, I felt the price Is right, so I've been considering it. However, not if I have to swap out masters etc, then it isn't feasible when something you stated above is accurate and cheaper. Just something I'm considering |

You shouldn't need a master cylinder change since the AP 9660/8, 9449 kit is drop in for F80 with the blue calipers.
You should still be able to keep your parking brake too. The AP 9668/9451 kit I have works just fine with it on my M2, and the shoes are the same as F3x. For the rotors you need, check out Paragon. They're way cheaper, and I know of a few people who have bought them for the track.

I'm trying to source brackets before I commit to buying them Paragon I guess has them potentially but they don't seem to have a phone number I contacted AP and paragon via email. Just trying to fit a price together for everything before I go all in Wouldn't stock f80 380mm/30mm fronts and 370mm/24mm rears work? I believe the ap racing kit uses 380 fronts and 370 rears, however the fronts I remember were 34mm or something, it would save some money if so… just trying to sort this |

The issue is these calipers aren't exactly bolt on, I been running around chasing info and contacting people to see if brackets can be done for the chassis etc |
