Are the AP Racings even bigger?

I remember when I had the L-Tuned OZ wheels, we test fit the wheels on Glen's car with the APs. They just touched, missed by a couple of mms. Another member had the same wheels with the Brembos. I was pleasantly surprised.

Glen also had the RMM brakes (i.e TTs) and I think he thought the TTs were similar or larger than the APs. Maybe my memory is just faulty with Glen's TT vs AP comparison.

I'm confused now Bob.

actually on glen's car with the tt, the wheels had less clearance than when he put on the ap racing. that's why earlier i said the tt seems to have bigger calipers setup. but then of course, the ap racing calipers is more "outward" since it has large rotors

other than the TT, which brake system should i aim for if im on a semi-budget.

im looking for the large rotor look, so the bigger the rotors, the better (to me)

im thinking rotora?

is there anything else?

thanks
