Thanks for the synopsis! All of the above are true. I think the BBK video #2 that looks at the details of our kit really explores all the advantages of our kits. Pretty much everything I say in that video about the OEM caliper I'm using as an example holds true for the calipers in a standard Brembo GT big brake kit. This one: I also did a written comparison to StopTech a while back...I'll dig it up. Everything in that post holds true vs. Brembo Gran Turismo kits as well. Thanks. |

Hey Jeff I just wanted to check in to see where we were at with the front anti-rattle clips? You mentioned they are under development about 2 months ago. Just wondering on an ETA?

Hey do the 372x34 kits with the CP9660 caliper clear the bimmerworld TA16 18" wheels?
How about with the CP9668 caliper? This would be for a track only e92m3 Thanks |

We unfortunately don't know. You'd have to use our wheel fitment templates to confirm. Both of our 372mm kits do fit in just about all 18" wheel barrels. We used that size of disc intentionally for that reason. It will just depend on spoke clearance on that particular design. That said, those wheels were implicitly designed with brake caliper clearance, so I'm guessing you'll be okay. There's no guarantee though, and you always have to verify with the template. Or have the wheel seller supply you with a wheel template to check against our brake template.

Below are a couple videos from last weekend of our front four piston e46 M3 kit and our front six piston e46 M3 kit / rear e46 M3 caliper kits in action at VIR. Our current kits work very, very well!
Below is a vid of our standard CP5060/355mm E92 M3 front kit at VIR. You can read more details about these customers and see more pics of their cars on our blog. |

beautiful.
i do have a question though- a friend of mine has this rear kit, but his rotor hat is completely round. the rotor hats in the above pics have cutouts to where the rotor meets the hat. was one of them an early design? i like the way they look in the above pics.

AP Racing produce anti-rattles clips for the rear calipers!!!! Jeff has some in stock now.
I've ordered some from my local supplier in England. The small noise from the rear was the only criticism I have for the complete kit and even then, it was a very minor one. Having run the full F&R kit for over 6 month now, paired with Ferodo DS2500 pads and I cannot praise the performance and feel enough. |

I can confirm the DS2500 pads (that were recommended for my needs) are excellent at cold temps (2 C) and also great at handling multiple stops to zero (activating ABS) from high speed. There is no squeal once you've transferred some pad material to the discs. Occasionally there is a very faint squeal when coming to a stop and very low speeds. I'm not sure of whether this is just when its very cold or when the brakes have not been used much. After one moderately firm application of the brakes, the noise stops. You may not even notice the initial noise. The only drawback of the Ferodo DS2500 pads is the increase in brake dust compared to OEM. It turns my black wheels a browner colour fairly quickly. For my needs, I would not hesitate to run DS2500 pads again. |

Thanks for the info Ant Man. I try to stay off the road when it is salted but on the west coast of Canada there is plenty of rain and with that comes grime on the roads so I'm probably best off with a BBK brand that is a little more "road" oriented and has the dust boots, etc.

Rain should be fine as races are held in the wet but you could always check with Jeff or Essex - they may have alternative suggestions too. It would be a shame to miss out as the engineering of the kit, is something to behold. |

Absolutely! Rain has no more of a detrimental impact on our brake system than it does on any other system. AP Racing calipers have won countless races in rally. They drive them through rain, mud, snow, slush, ice, etc. Made me think of some pics a customer sent me a few years ago that are up on our blog...the brakes are definitely wet! |

I honestly don't know. Seeing as I'm the guy who makes that decision, I probably should figure it out. We've been so crazy busy that we haven't really had time to think about holiday sales, etc. I guess it's about that time though, since I started seeing 'pre-Black Friday' sales on Halloween! Stay tuned...
