Default Ap Racing Replacement Rotors

Hey Guys,

I know the kit is a little rare but am hoping to get some insight if anyone has any experience. My last track day at Laguna completely torched my front disks (cracks on nearly every hole). I have the AP Racing 4 pot 332mm (13") front/rear. Problem is, I would really like to go to a two piece (rotor/hat) in the front but Stillen wants over $700 for the parts. Even the exact replacement piece I have which is a solid 1 piece they want over $200 for each rotor.

I'm close to biting the bullet here as I have to get new rotors on for another day out but if anyone has any experience with poissibly replacing the front rotor in this kit with a different manufacturer and different vendor (Stillen can be expensive) I would love to hear about it.

Thanks much -

I've got the same kit sitting in my garage with the same problem. When I did a brief search about a year ago, I didn't come up with anything tangible.

So I'm hoping someone can chime in with something good.

it all depends on which exact AP caliper you have, as there are several different ones - some are more forgiving with rotor dimensions than others

the front Caliper is a CP5200. I just need front rotors.

you're stuck with their rotors unfortunately as far as a 100% bolt on solution

other option is to do what I did when I ran those calipers - used DBA 5000 rotors, and had to make a shim for the caliper bracket. Don't remember what size it was unfortunately as it was custom done and this goes back probably 6 or so years now.

FWIW, $700 for a pair of 2 piece rotors is not unreasonable at all, but when you're ready let us know, may be able to get you a discount vs Stillen's pricing
