Yes the AP disks will work OK with Brembo callipers, However there are a couple of drawbacks

1. The lever travel increases significantly; not enough to come back to the throttle grip, but it is noticeable. I think the AP capliers must use a different piston / master cylinder ratio that compensates for the thinner AP disks.

2. The footprint of the AP disk is smaller than the Brembo pads. Not a problem if you always run AP disks, but If you wanted to swap back to wheels with standard disks, the pads would need replacing because they would had a distinct step worn into the braking surface.

PFM cast disks are a replacement that are the same thickness and have the same footprint as the Brembo disks

JPM are you selling some standard 320mm Brembo disks in good condition (ie no warps)? I would like to buy them very much.
