domenico · 07-09-2012, 05:48 AM

Thinking of new brakes for my 330i e92.
Have you got any experience with these two?
I know the AP only from WRX STI where are marvelous..
Thanks for advice!

pricing is about 3.000EUR each.
AP is 6-piston where as TAR-OX are 10piston!!

I think the deciding factor would be pad availability. Check with both manufacturers and find out how many different pad materials you can use with the calipers.

TAR-OX are BLINDING expensive! Great brakes, but I'm not sure you're going to find anyone on here with experience with them.

At the most, you'll find reviews on the AP brakes.

I have Stoptech. Absolutely flawless.

There is equal pricing of TAROX and Stoptech in middle-Europe.
All AP, Stoptech and Tarox are about 4000USD.
I'd like to improve brake pos. but don't know if it does worth it. :/

unless you track your car, upgrading your pads can help alot with stopping distance/ fading.
