Default ap racing 4 pot for an au xr8

Hey there i was just wondering if the ap racing 4 pot 330mm front brake kit is going to fit under 19 inch speedy rims? i know these rims dont accept brembos so i thought i might check. Also would you know how much better these are than a set of bf xr8 calipers??? also would i have to get custom brake lines made up? any advice would be great cheers

There is a little more clearance withthat size AP Racing set up but honestly i couldn't say if they would clear and we would supply custom lines in the kit for you.The AP Calipers are way better than the BF XR8 ones and we also offer a PBR Performance twin piston caliper on a 355mm rotor that fits alot of rims that don't clear brembo's for under $2000.

Well I'm currently looking at a second hand kit but I wanted to get some braided lines made up as am I right in thinking that the stock lines will not fit. Also what brake fluid would you suggest for this calipers don't want to spend a ton but was after something good and how much? Also how much would it cost to have the braided lines made up?

Front braided lines are $150 a set and i would run some AP Racing 5.1 fluid for $25 a bottle or some super dot 4 which will only cost you about $12 if it is mainly road use.
