Our business was initially named after Essex CT here in the states, but that city was certainly named after the original Essex! Our current majority owner is actually British, as is the director of our motorcycle operation, TAW Performance. Our company imported British sports racers for years as well (Tiga and Van Diemen). We are currently AP Racing's biggest customer in the world, and we're also the exclusive North American importer and distributor for Scorpion Exhausts out of the UK. We definitely have long-running and deep ties to British motorsports. You can read our history here.

Do you think I'll be able to get the same parts by speaking to AP Racing UK?
The calipers we're using in our kits have a number of unique modifications made specifically for Essex, and the discs are a unique part number as well. AP offers kits with similar specification, but not quite the same. Thanks.
