I also have the AP racing upgrade....
As others have said, replace the pads when fitting new discs & bed them in properly.
For those of us on the west side of the pond, try
www.essexparts.com
They are very knowledgeable and are official distributors for AP racing.
Dave M. listed the correct part numbers.

Interesting that Lotus finally put 4-pots on their top-o-line Exige:
2008 Lotus Exige S 240 (2,077 pounds)
"The extra grunt from the engine requires larger front brakes. The ventilated and cross-drilled front rotors are slightly larger at 310mm and the 2-piston fixed front calipers from AP Racing are now four-piston units with sport brake pads. Stopping distances aren't expected to be much shorter, but the new binders improve fade resistance."
MY NOTE: The rear brakes still use Brembo single-piston sliding calipers with 282mm diameter discs. Question: Is mixing caliper brands the same as having tyres from different manufacturers? If you said no, then think if you've EVER seen a car off the assy-line with different tyre brands F/R!

time flys since I last used this thread.
I now need new pistons and seal kits, are B&G the place to go, or alternative suppliers ?

Has anybody tried EBC Greenstuff or Redstuff pads with AP 5100 Calipers ? My wheels are minging with Mintex brake dust so will change front when I do PNM rears.
