What car have you got? It was decide what rear brakes you can use

As far as I know K sport are the only 8 pots so you could look for a set of them

Had K-sport 8 pots before on a car we used for mondello. Cleared 18” wheels just fine and had GD STI brembos on the rear, used carbon metallic pads ( needed for track use only application) both front and rear, never missed a beat

Have a set of K-sport 8 pots on my blob, very good stopping power with 2 piece disc's & EBC pads for road use

A few different sets 6 pot AP calipers and disc there in the for sale thread but no 8 pots . Only a k sport caliper option

Apologies I didn’t realise it was Conor’s old car ,

Just have a think of what your going to be doing with the car , 8pots might be overkill for the road

AP's 6 pots all the way. There was a research somewhere more pots not necessarily translate into better stopping power.
Edit: also 6 pots fit under 17s which is better for classic. 18 too big and dont leave enough room for tires

Found the Ap's excellent on the blob wrx,
Definitely worth considering Martin...
Scoobysub be your man if interested in Ap's
