Scott,
Dan, aka Footnfan had a set of Alcons for sale off of a 98 S351 a month back. He checks his pm's. He is "our people". He is the one who just bought those three magnesiums off ebay last week.
Call Joe at Chicane. He has a proceedure for compressing the pistons. Also, he has a replacement 13" rotor. It is not grooved though.

APRacing makes some nice stuff, but Alcon is far superior. Both are based out of the UK.
If you want a product used on a Saleen then go Alcon or Brembo.
Don't mess around with that AP stuff or you will ultimately run into what us guys with Alcons run into. Having to source replacement parts that wont bust the bank.
If you want a brake upgrade for your Saleen, the cheapest, and authentic way to go is buy the Brembo front set up Casey at Haney will get you for hundreds less than anyone else. Lat I thought you could get home for under 1 large, save for stainless lines. That's a bargain.

ok, thanks for the tip marcus..im guessing it would be hard to source parts meaning replacement rotors/pads are different than the brembos and it would be hard finding replacements?
