I ran APs. MASSIVE difference from stock and stocks are truly a piece of shit in comparison imo.
Pros: massive difference
Cons: stock brakes are bad

I run 9660 on my m3, very satisfied on street and track, did consecutive hot laps and did not show any signs of brake fade, and constant strong initial bite. I like how I can modulate the braking power through these AP 9660.
Pros: strong bite, no fade
Cons: requires cleaning
In my 981S I use the AP R4 fluid with less intense Ferodo DS2500 pads for time trials (handful of Max attack laps before the tires fall off).
Pros: good for time trials
Vehicle:
Porsche
AP Racing 9660 and 9451, with Ferodo DS1.11. They are overkill even for track use as they have way more stopping power than tire grip level. Good thing is you don’t need to worry about overheating the brakes and the pads last pretty long. The front lasts over 15 track days and the rear lasts probably 3 times as long. Fairly easy to change brake pads as well.
Pros: long pad life, strong stopping power
Cons: overkill for street use
I upgraded all four rotors to bigger AP Racing vented discs, upgraded my pads, added steel braided brake lines, AND replaced my air filter and did an oil change for less than what my local Porsche dealers wanted to charge me to just replace my front rotors and pads.
Vehicle:
Porsche 911
Regardless, the front brake pedal feel is AMAZING, which has been confirmed by others who have driven the car. Love them.
Pros: amazing brake pedal feel
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have APRacing brakes on my lotus, and they are simply excellent. It definitely crossed my mind to do the upgrade, but they are also pretty pricey.
Pros: simply excellent
Cons: pretty pricey
When I was converting my E46 M3 to a race car, I looked at AP Racing products. At the time, they had two kits for the E46 M3: a street kit with a fancy looking four pot caliper and 355mm rotors, and a race kit with super dull looking 4 pot caliper and 325mm rotors. That's 7mm *smaller* than stock. I went with the race kit. I generally do 25-45 minute sprint races with the car and I've never had even a hint of fade.
Pros: no brake fade, effective cooling
Vehicle:
BMW
I've got AP Racing brakes all around on my C7, running Ferodo DSUNO pads. While they perform great on track, they squeal HORRIBLY, no matter what temps they're at. While I can chalk that up as a characteristic of this compound, I've ran their DS3.12 on my other car and they only squealed mildly on the street. What concerns me is when driving at slow speeds, I can still hear a faint squeaking when off the brakes as well. When I spin the wheels in the air. I can feel the drag a bit as well.
Pros: great performance on track
Cons: horrible squealing, faint squeaking, slight drag
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette
The brembo BBK for this chassis is the better option, if you’re going BBK. The rotors really don’t last on the AP kit.
Cons: rotors don't last
Vehicle:
Toyota
