AP Racing replacement rotors?

Hi,
Wondered if anyone's running the 332x32mm AP cp5555-1032R2 brake kit, and if so, where you sourced replacement rotors from, i've had a search through the marketplace and it doesn't look like there's anyone listing them ?

Would prefer to keep costs down by re-using the AP bells i allready have, but would entertain buying a complete bell/rotor kit of a different brand (Performance friction etc) if compatible with the calipers and brackets i allready have, part numbers for the rotors are cp3581-766/767 if that helps.

Also, if they supplied carbotech xp12's for both cp5555, and cp5108 calipers, would be an added bonus.

Sooo, anybody else have a problem getting decent price replacement rotors for their AP's, any tips of where to try find some ?

Thanks,
Russ.

I noticed you are in UK so shipping from US would cost a mint. go to their website i believe there are actually plenty of UK dealers if i'm not mistaken
Good Luck

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
To be honest, i think even with shipping costs i'll be able to get them cheaper from your country than i will mine, as a general rule of thumb, i find parts cost around 50% less in your country, and i'm not the type of guy who pays more than he has to for anything lol.

Do you know of any traders on this forum that deal with AP ?

Thanks again.
Russ.

Try Essex. They just put together an AP kit for the Evo, so I'm sure they have access to all kinds of AP parts.

I had the same problem finding rotors for the AP Racing big brake kit for my 2G. The rotors on that are 330 x 28. I hunted around and there are a lot of other people having the same problem finding them. The solution that many people end up with is just finding the cheapest place around that will custom make you a new pair of rotors (minus hats). It sounds expensive, but Stillen originally wanted something like $280 per rotor, and custom ones seem to cost around $180 per side, at least here in the U.S. Some places even have you just send in the old ones and get new ones back; no worrying about the specs at all.

For you, these look like they fit the bill:

Thanks alot buddy, i'll check out those links

Over here the 330x28mm discs are reasonably easy too source for a decent price, as low as 300gbp a pair, whereas the quotes for the 332x32 are 550gbp plus..... without mounting bolts or bells/hats !! I'd be happy to pay $500 dollars for a pair..

I know Performance friction do a compatable disc/rotor, do you guy's know of a good Pf supplier that ship's internationally ?

Thanks again.
