I got some 1155's from Ianrm on here, I'm sure he can do 1144's as well. Give him a shout.

ok, thanks

what is the difference between these?

4 POTS BBK (BIG BRAKE KIT)

I guess the BBK would fit my car?

If you search for Ianrm (AMD Tuning) on here and pm him, I'm sure he'll be able to help you out.

The BBK is the OEM lotus 4 pot fit pads, this would also fit the TMS 4 pots and the BBK kit Eliseparts used to sell untill recently. The other is for the standard AP5000 series caliper. They are essentially tha same pad but are fixed in the caliper in different ways. The 5000 style pads are available from almost all manufacturers and tend to be cheaper as they are common across many car platforms. The BBK is specifically for Lotus so fewer manufacturers produce this kind of pad and they are more expensive due to the bespoke fit.

I also did a search on the kit I have:

No you need the BBK. Following the link you sent you can see the pads with the external securing pins http://www.apracing....ings/p12170.pdf

I had a mail conversation with AP Racing and he told me If I want pads for fast road and track then go for CP7600D46-APF404 (brake pads that comes with the Big Brake Kit)

here I can choose between APF-403, APF-404, DS2500 and DS3000, all these fits

http://www.part-box....n=Search&sort=0

should I go with AP-404/AP-403 or the Ferodo pads? road/fast road use only.

Sorry here are some pics of my 1144 if u fancy them£30 +p+p

[Gilgamesh]

looks good Lee and I could take them, but are you 100% sure they fit with the AP Racing kit I have?

[leevx2.2]

These fit the tms brake kit the calliper I have is the same and these pads also fit the ap lotus 4 pot direct fit . The ones with 2 pins hope that helps .

[Gilgamesh]

ok if you say so, I ask so I don't buy wrong pads :-) now answer my PM.

The Ferrodos have had mixed reviews, some good some bad. I found the Ferrodos poor. I'd also go for 1155s over 1144s, especially if you plan to track the car.
