Do you mean the brake kit? if so, i had to fit spacers to clear the wheels, my wheels were aftermarket and had more clearance than standard wheels

You'll need to find out the wheel offset and then contact AP direct for confirmation, unless they already say they will fit

I fitted the AP's to my old S, they were a very good improvement, but, not sure on the GP, never used the GP's brakes in anger to compare and John hardly ever uses brakes anyway :p
Does the GP have JCW brakes as standard, if so, i wouldn't change

Yep, the elusive man himself ;)
The AP's are good, but, if you drive like the majority of us, spirited but nae dafty stuff ;):p then the AP's, in my mind, would be wasted over the JCW brakes :approve:
But, if you've already promised them to your nephew then you needn't make any more posts :p go for it :approve:

The GP brakes I found just slow you down thats why I dont use them:D



Seriously though I thought they were very good but look sh!t JCW kit looks like they nicked it off of a BMW runabout, painted them red, slapped on a sticker and that was that.


T100L, do I know you??
