Brake pads

[Ian Rogers]

Can anyone enlighten me as to the brake pads used on the early Superblowers. The early SB's were effectively MK IV's that were uprated. The car I have been asked about is the first AC produced car fitted with a supercharger - 1997. Mine (1999) is fitted with AP Racing brakes but were these fitted to early SB's or indeed MK IV's per se. Thanks in anticipation of your enlightenment.

I also need front brake pads.  I understand they are 1980's BMW but don't know the year or model BMW. Please help. Thanks.

Hello Ian, If your car has AP front brakes they are the same as the CRS. These are quite unique and feature special thickness discs. A high quality road performance pad can be purchased from EBC brakes in Northampton. I have them on my CRS as do other CRS owners. Please e-mail me and I can find you all the information you need
