Track review of AP racing caliper, Project Mu brake pad and SCR-PRO rotor, DBA rear rotor 4000 series.16/8/2006
Track review of the AP racing caliper and the Project Mu rotor (front), DBA rotor (rear).

The brake is EXCELLENT!

There are some review of the Project Mu HC+ pads have poor brake control and not suitable for S tyres (R-spec) tyre. Rubbish. These brakes are wonderful. They can be trail braked, the car is great balance under brake and into the corner. There is minimal weight transfer when you finish with it. They cut my braking distance by at least 25m in the (8000rpm - to 2nd gear) 3rd gear corner and 50m in the (6000rpm to 3rd gear) 4th gear corner (about 160kph).

There is no fade at all. The rear rotor indicator is only burnt on the first one. The groove is great to get rid of the heat and there is no problem at all after 7-8 laps.

The pad pull up very very well after 39 laps at Winton raceway. More than 70% left.

As a result, I am 0.2 sec quicker and getting a 1 sec better consistent time. I am very happy.
