    AP Brakes on a C70

    Hi all, has anyone fitted an AP Brake kit to a C70 that has 17" Canisto original factory fit alloys, if so what diameter are the AP discs 325 or 330mm and will I need wheel spacers, thanks.

    I've only ever seen 850s fitted with AP kits and they only had 17s on - However if you want a good upgrade then you could do worse than fitting Ferodo DS2500 pads (and maybe SS braided lines). Lot cheaper than buying new rotors and calipers though maybe not so much BLING

    One other thing - if you do go down the BBK route - make sure the kit you buy is compatible with your master brake cylinder.

    I currently have the AP kit on my classic S70 with canistos, discs are 330mm, no spacers required and about 5mm clearance between caliper body and inside of spokes.

    Let me know your e-mail address and I can send you pics.
