Love AP/Essex kits! They should consider making AP J-Hook OEM replacement discs for those of us who don't run a bbk. Would be a nice alternative to PFC's DD Rotors.

Essex/AP Racing Big Brake Kit Owners, We Need Your Help!
If you, or someone you know, purchased a product from Essex Parts Services in recent years, please read on. You’ll have a chance to win some really cool prizes! Essex completely redesigned our website over the winter, and we’re looking to populate our product reviews with quality customer feedback. If you could spare a few minutes we'd love for you to write a product review on our site. We will publish these reviews on our website, blog, social media pages, magazine ads, etc. We don’t want you to write a sales pitch, we just want your honest opinion. If we’ve helped you enjoy your car more, please consider returning the favor! Free Stuff! We know that your time is valuable, so we’re offering some great incentives for your efforts. If you write a review, your name will be entered into a drawing for a number of great prizes including free brake lines, pads, fluid, and spare AP Racing J Hook discs! For big brake kit owners, your submission must include at least two photos (a profile shot of your car and a close-up of the entire wheel, brakes & tire) and the wheel specifications that you’re running with the brake kit (17x8.5 +33 and if they require a wheel spacer). This valuable info will help us create a more robust wheel fitment database to assist other customers. Any other photos, video, list of race wins, etc. are optional but highly encouraged. Finally, please do not submit anything that you wouldn’t want circulated publicly! What Do I Write? Below are some potential elements to consider for your review. Hopefully these bullet points will get your gears turning: • Your experience level & driving history o (e.g.- I have been tracking cars for 10 years with NASA, PCA, etc.) • How has the product you bought from Essex enhanced your driving experience? o (e.g.- No longer have to bleed brakes between every track session, can brake later, easier to pass, etc.) • Problems that the product solved (e.g.- pad fade, disc cracking, soft pedal, etc.) • Favorite product feature • Comparison to other products you’ve tried in the past • Overall ownership experience...how easy it to live with? • Customer service by Essex before and after initial sale • Documentation and ease of install • Would you buy it again, and would you recommend it to a friend? • Anything about the product that you think could be improved? • Race or event wins the product helped you achieve • As outlined above, at least two pictures and wheel spec info must be included with Competition Brake Kit reviews! Where & How Do I Write the Review? 1. Find the product you purchased on our site. 2. Click the “Owner Reviews” tab below the blue “Add to Cart” button. 3. Click the “log in” link to either log in or create an account if you don’t yet have one. 4. Write an honest assessment of the products you purchased from Essex. 5. Be prepared to collect extravagant spoils for your efforts! Some of the items we’ll be giving away are worth close to $1,000! If our assistance has helped you further enjoy your car, please take a moment to tell the world about it. Your opinions mean a lot to us, and they will allow us to keep releasing products for enthusiasts like you. Again, thank you very much, and we hope you have a safe and fast 2016 track season! |

i know for a fact that i would just replace my rear disks instead of buying the full kit if that was an option (i'm already running their front kit). the front kit is enough to get the job done, thats no lie, but the rear kit is needed to really complete the setup.

You're right, most people who track e92's are more likely to just go out and get a BBK. But im sure you would sell a ton of e46 m3 front rotors if you were to make them. |

Jeff - my kit will be installed in April. I'll write a review about them then. The customer service from you and Urge was fantastic by the way.
I'm very much looking forward to how the brakes feel on the road. |

Have you solved the pad rattle problem for the rears yet? The anti-rattle spring/clip you sent for the fronts works great, but the rears still rattle over every imperfection in the road surface. The noise really bugs when used on the street...

Thanks for all of the positive feedback gents. We're glad you're all enjoying your brakes!
We do not have any solutions for the pad rattle on the CP5040 rear caliper at this time. Sorry! |

It's not clear why you don't have a solution for this issue, could you expound on that? Do you plan on providing a "fix" (anti-rattle spring clip) for the rears any time in the future?

Absolutely you qualify. Please write the review on the product page per the instructions above. It's okay if you reuse your comments from before. Thanks again, and we hope you're enjoying your kit! Quote:
For the front CP5060, there happened to be a spring clip for a road caliper that dropped right in. For the other calipers, no such part exists to our knowledge, and at this time we have no plans to make one. Again, I'm sorry if that's not the ideal answer you were seeking, and I'm not trying to be confrontational, etc. To make this part we'd have to order 10,000 of them to get them at a reasonable cost, and we just haven't seen substantial demand for it. Therefore it hasn't made business sense for us. It's that simple. I wish I had a better answer for you, but that's the honest lay of the land. Sorry! If you wanted to make your own, maybe we could lend some guidance? |

Not sure what percentage of your customers are on this forum, but would venture to say that >90.8% of e9x M3 owners drive their cars on the street, at least occasionally. FYI- I wasn't aware that this kit was not intended for road use. Have a day.

i met you at mrf when i was getting my kit on. i have the cp5060/355mm kit up front with the anti-rattle clips and the kit adds no noise. sorry i don't have any solution to your problem. this is definitely one of those things that the community (reviews/testimonials) and manufacturer (more obvious disclaimers) could benefit from being up front about. you have the 5040 kit in the rear? i don't have it yet, but i thought they were working on anti-rattle pad clips for the rear.
