AP only gives you the pig-iron rotor option, though, afaik, so you have to live with the extra un-sprung weight and the god-awful brake dust.

you will never feel nor see difference in lap time using ap kit schumaker.......

Yes . This is on point . Much more expensive then steel though . The calipers allow the kit to be used among different mclarens . There is a secondary market for re-sale now .

I do have 3 friends who are using the ap kit on mclarens .


However , it wasn’t available when I first started tracking …. The only thing to really think about is that the oem brake cooling ducts would have to be removed (they fit into the oem calipers with a screw and the ap calipers do not have that …. I was very uneasy about doing this and relying on ap vs the oem cooling ducts.

cooling ducts can be retained by trimming them. ap specifically mentions that in their install instructions....

No, but I'll be constantly having to clean the dust off and deal with the extra thud over road imperfections.

Once you drive a 720S you won't go back to Audi, Porsche etc. I switched from Porsche to Ferrari to an 12C and then finally upgraded to a 720S 2 yrs ago. Wow. What a car.
It gives you as much as you can handle or just drives really calm and nice. Not a track guy but have taken it out on 2 Mclaren sponsored track days. The 720S is an amazing track
car for someone who just wants to experience it and not really interested in racing or needing a 765/Sena .

Just joining in on this thread as I am also looking into a 720s. I have a 996TT, had a 12c, and a 488. Very similar to what you had. How does the 720 compare to the Ferrari? Any issues with the 720 so far? Ive heard about electrical issues being minor. but costly.

TIA

I tracked my 720S eight times last year. I replaced the brake pads even though they still had 5.5mm pad thickness (9mm new). CCB rotors were checked by my dealer & they had negligible wear. I consider myself a very experienced intermediate track driver so the brakes were used. I also had a little over 6000 miles on the road last year. All McLarens are simply amazing on the track. To me it is unreal that they work so well on the road also. Absolutely the best sports car. The only other car that can do both road & track well is Porsche. But having owned both marques the McLaren is the winner to me!

This is interesting stuff. Are you driving any high speed circuits with heavy braking zones?

Laguna turn 2 is fairly fast with heavy braking (a little over 140 mph then brake). Sears Point & Thunderhill are the other tracks I drive on.
