    I wanted to upgrade my Countach's brake. I learned from some sites that there used to have an AP brake kit upgrade available. Anyone know where I can find it?

    Move It works very well and has probably the biggest calipers you are going to fit
    with stock rims.

    Wild guess, the AP Calipers have a distance of approx. 2mm to the rim.
    I don't know what happened to Carl Bridson, the AP Calipers are no problem to order but the problem are the mounts you have to produce.
    I know of german colleagues who have Porsche Calipers and some swiss friends have Alcans installed.
    In all the cases the mounts are the problem, not the steal breaded lines, that's easy to produce.

    Sure you can, but it's still BS, at least install EBC red brake pads.

    Thanks, Guys. I have email Movit but no reply. Does anyone of you know which part (number) they are quoting for the Countach. Because from their site, I cannot see any Lambo Countach items on it.
