Only AP Racing...sorry!

No. You have to use one or the other. Both will not work together. Thanks for watching!

Yes, you would need caliper adapters. The discs in our AP Racing system are 394mm, which are larger than the stock 380mm fronts. In the back, our the bolt spacing to attach the rear calipers is different from the stock calipers, and you would therefore need a caliper adapter bracket in the rear as well.

Yes, our complete system for the M2 Competition fits inside 18" wheels, which is why many of the track rats prefer our setup. It also saves over 35 lbs. of unsprung weight vs. the stock brakes!

Yes, many of our clients drive their cars on the road everyday. You can use a milder brake pad, like the Ferodo DS2500, and they will function great for daily driving.

Yes, you would need to take the wheel spacer into account when measuring wheel spoke clearance with the template.

On my car, I typically use a soft block of wood (typical pine) wrapped in a rag to lever the pistons back into their bores. Many people use an old brake pad to lever the pistons, but that is a bad idea. What you don't want to do is chew up the ends of the pistons. Metal-to-metal contact can nick or gouge the pistons. Then when they get pushed back into the caliper, they cut the piston seals and create a brake fluid leak. Also, doing that with a pad you intend to use in the future is a terrible idea. It's very easy to create cracks in the pad material itself, which can cause the material to separate from the backing plate...not good! Something slightly softer wrapped in a rag will provide enough force to lever, while not chewing up your pistons. - Jeff

No they cannot, but we have never seen any need to have them turned. Since the vast majority of our clients are tracking their car, they typically crack their discs before they ever reach a state in which they would need to be turned.

Hi, could elaborate a bit further on why not? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your support Dominic! The torque spec is 11 ft. lbs (13 Newton-Meters). If you don't want to use tools, your best bet with the caliper bridge bolts is to literally snug them up with your pinky finger. There isn't really any load on those bolts, and they are really there as a retention feature for the pads. Thank you very much again for purchasing our product, and don't ever hesitate to reach out to our team if you have other questions.

I'd suggest sending an email to support@ essex parts dot com. Our team can help you trouble-shoot your issue. When attached properly the discs shouldn't make any clunking noise or vibration. What you may be hearing is the pad moving slightly in the caliper. This is especially common when going from forward to reverse and back, as the pad shifts from one end of the caliper to the other and hits the abutment plate with a clunk. That is completely normal with any racing caliper, as they are designed to accommodate a range of pads that can vary slightly in size specification.

We are Essex Parts Services, the exclusive North American importer and distributor for AP Racing. We are located in the USA, not England. We speak new English, not the old stuff. ;)

Awesome! Thanks so much for your support and we hope they serve you well for years to come.

These are racing parts, and as such AP Racing does not have a published discard spec. Most of our clients crack the discs on the track long before they run them thin. We have had customers run them long enough to completely wear the J Hook slots off the face of the disc without any problems. Sorry we don't have any formal spec for this issue. If you need help talking with someone about this, please contact our team at support at essex parts dot com. Thank you very much for your support of our product!

Anodized calipers are not ideal for road salt. We have two better options: The first are the painted calipers in our AP Racing by Essex Road Radi-CAL Brake Kits: www.essexparts.com/big-brake-kits/ap-racing-road-brake-kits-by-essex The second would be our new Electroless Nickel Plated calipers in our AP Racing by Essex Radi-CAL Competition Brake Kits. Either would be a superior choice to anodized if you are running in salty conditions. Thanks!

We now have our ENP (Electroless Nickel Plated) version of the Pro5000R calipers which are a superior choice for inclement weather vs. anodized. The finish is more durable and will hold up better long-term to just about every type of contaminant. www.essexparts.com/news-blog/new-electroless-nickel-plated-enp-finish-for-pro5000r-radicals

@@essexpartsservicesbrakeexperts Thanks. How will I order the kit as I'm located in Malaysia?

Hey Paul! We are hard at work with multiple other car projects that are going to be announced when ready! Everyone at Essex shares a love for all things with a motor so we decided in 2021 that the road shouldn't be our limits and we started our Off-road project!
