Essex Brake From Inflation Sale! 20% Off AP Racing Radi-CAL E9X Brake Kits Nov.1-30

Perpetually increasing prices have been a sobering reality for the past several years, and the impact on the motorsports industry has been particularly profound. Purchasing, modifying, and fueling a vehicle has become a far more expensive proposition than ever before!

This fall, Essex will be doing everything we can to provide a respite from the constant price increases in the form of our Brake From Inflation Sale. Instead of a two-week Black Friday sale this year, we're offering the deepest discounts in company history for the entire month of November!

Click here for a complete menu of brake options for the e9X M3
.
  • Our AP Racing by Essex Brake Kits for the e9X M3 are 20% off, which means approximately $1,000 per axle kit ($2,000 off for a complete car set)!
  • We'll also be offering some deals on AP Racing Brake Fluid, Ferodo Racing Brake Pads, and Spiegler Stainless Steel Brake Lines.
  • There won't be any coupon codes, as all sale prices will be visible on our site for all sale products.
  • No additional coupons, discounts, or promotions can be combined with sale prices.
  • Discounts of more than 20% off are only valid on in-stock inventory. There will be no backorders available on these clearance items.
  • We're also offering special financing offers through our buy now, pay later partner during the sale period, so please be sure to examine that payment option at checkout!

Our physical office location will be closed on Thursday 11/23 and Friday 11/24, but online ordering will remain available. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at 704-824-6030, 8am-5pm ET, M-F, or sales@essexparts.com

This might be a dumb question - What is the difference between the competition and the road kit, other than dust boots? Tempted to jump on this deal but my preference is to get red calipers.

Also will the 25mm pad calipers fit 18" wheels? For example, Apex SM10, TE37 SL or Advan GT?

Those are not dumb questions at all, and we get those same questions all the time. Frankly, we get the Road vs. Comp Kit question so often that we created a page on our site dedicated to the topic:
https://www.essexparts.com/big-brake...-right-for-you


As for wheel fitment, yes, our CP9668/372mm kits will fit quite a few popular 18" track wheels without a spacer. Here is a partial list below...these are the ones we've had customers confirm to us:
Confirmed wheels that fit without a spacer:

Apex ARC-8 18 x 10" & 19x10" +25
APEX EC-7 18 x 9.5" +22
APEX EC-7 18 x 10" & 19x10" +25
APEX EC-7RS 19 x 10" +25
APEX FL-5 18 x 10" +25
APEX SM-10 18 x 10" & 19x10" +25
APEX VS-5RS 18 x 10" & 19x10" +25
BBS FI 18 x 9.5" +22
BBS RIA 18 x 10" +25
BBS RIA 18 x 10" +22
Signature Wheel SV503 18 x 10.5" +22
Titan 7 TS5, TS7, and TR10 18 x 9.5" +22
Titan 7 TS5, TS7, and TR10 18 x 10" +25
Titan 7 TS5, TS7, and TR10 18 x 10.5" +25
Volk TE37 18 x 9.5" +22

Confirmed wheels that fit with a spacer:

Forgeline GA3R 18 x 10" +25 (with 2.5" lips - requires 10 to 12mm spacer)
Signature Wheel SV501 18 x 9.5" ET28 (had to add a 7.5mm spacer to clear the spring perch from Öhlins R&T)

We also have downloadable wheel fitment templates for every kit we offer, so you can check wheels that aren't found in the list above. Below are a couple videos on where to find those on our site when browsing specific kits, and how to use them:






You will find it very difficult to get one of our Road Kits inside an 18" wheel. You'd have to check the wheel fitment template on your specific wheel, but with the larger disc diameters and larger calipers, it's going to be a very tough fit. The Road Kits are really geared more towards 19's on the e9x chassis.

Thanks for considering our products, and let us know if you have any other questions!

Do you have anything small enough to fit behind a 17x10 ET25 Apex ARC-8 Wheel? IIRC the Stoptech ST40R will fit which is a 355mm setup.

We initially offered a 355mm setup for the e9X chassis, but so many people asked for larger discs that we moved up to a 372mm. I don't believe our 372mm kits will fit in the APEX wheel you mention, but you may want to check our fitment template using the guidelines in the videos above. This one would give you the best shot (CP9660/372mm):

You're running out of time to save over $2,000 on a four-wheel AP Racing by Essex Radi-CAL Brake Kit for your M3! Don't forget to allocate some of those Black Friday funds to the gift that will keep giving the whole track season through.
