Hi all,
I'm from Spain, and I buy this big brake kit at
http://www.brake-pros.com (Stillen).
The final price is the same of the web page:

- AP3700: 2,695.00 USD
- Sport lines: 120.00 USD

The shipment to Spain and taxes are very expensive:

- Shipment & Taxes: 1,090.00 USD
- Monting at official Nissan dealer: 145.00 USD

Total brake kit (without AP551 brake fluid): 4,050.00 USD

Now, I've 200km (136miles), and bedding is not finished, but I
think it feel good... No problem in the instalation, very easy.

More pictures & report comming soon.
Regards,

Mo350Zart,

Did you have the Brembos before? If yes, is the AP better then the Brembos?

Thanks,
Az

but i think ap is better than brembo because
i don't need more torque, i need the same torque, but
for more time!

Ok, after more 2000 miles, I have the "first impression"

1. the ap3700 big brake kit looks nice...
nice? very-very nice! everybody say same
expression: impressive!!!

2. good performance, of course
2.1. but modulation is not better than brembos...
2.2. with ds2500 pad, I need a little warm-up...

3. more noises
3.1 clink-clink from pads, I think is normal...
3.2. clonk-clonk from rotors when the temperature
come down after moderate brake and the speed
is reduced at ~50mph: this noise without response
from Stillen and without response -at this
moment- from AP Racing in Spain...

4. vdc not work exactly than brembos...
vdc run correctly, but with sudden reactions...

5. dirty, very dirty
a lot of ferodo in the wheels!


Please, sorry my poor english

usually VDC appears only appears when I brake in a curve,
I mean, when the interior front wheel, without any weight,
pulls up. It's a situation that i don't cause, because I know
that the VDC is going to try to stop it and I prefer not to
cause it

Yesterday I caused it and I heared a "CLONK" that I won't
cause it any more... The wheel pulled up like many times,
but when the VDC worked I colud hear that noise.

However, when the ABS works, it works in normal conditions,
I mean without strange noises, everything OK.
