very good reliable brakes

 

doenst the Acura LMP2 race cars use AP racing calipers?

 

A buddy (SinCity350Z) is running them on his race car. I imagine it'll hold up to anything you throw at it. I believe on the good things about AP (as well as Stoptech) is the availabilty of different brands that make pads.

 

they are among the best brakes made

 

*ding* That is the correct answer.

Look at the engineering behind the application. I've seen AP brakes executed very poorly (AP Truck calipers on a 700hp RSX).

 

Almost all top motorsport teams in the world use them. They also make clutches and pedalboxes and whatnot.

As for production parts, haven't heard too much about them.

 

And the other half run willwood.

 

What.....


Which racing series? I'm not saying that Wilwood isn't used but a lot more use Brembos if I'm not mistaken. Especially if your talking about the other half of the world.

Then if you go to Japan it's Alcon, Biot, Project Mu, Brembo, Endless and etc.(not in any specific order)

Anyways AP racing makes very good brakes.

 

Lots of teams run AP, lots of teams run Stoptech, lots of teams run Brembo, lots of teams run Willwood, lots of teams run Endless, lots of teams run Alcon, and so on and so forth

 

One of the best brakes every made. I have them and Love them. AP BBK + Goodridge SS brake lines + Motul RBF600 = Best combination I've ran.

Down sides: Expensive, replacements are hare to find. Rear calipers clearance with wheels are very tricky. Not all 18" track wheels will fit the front 14.25" Rotors.

 

AP Racing brakes are among the best brake kits you can get for these cars. They are better suited for tracking than the street but are a very good all around brake kit. The replacement pads and rotors are not cheap, but that is to be expected. There is not much out there on the market for these cars that is on par with this kit (I am refering to the 14.2" 6 pot front and the 13.5" 4 pot rear, complete kit).

For the price consious and more street drivin vehicles.....I would recomend a different BBK, though.

 

When I do a BBK, this is the kit I will be using.

 

And oddly enough Wilwood sells a lot of product in the UK as it's seen by some there as the more magic parts. Guess it always comes down to what you can't have as easily- must be better.
