▀▄ eas - AP Racing Big Brake Kits now available for e9x M3

Professional teams choose AP Racing, with over 50 years of winning experience in Formula 1, Grand Am, American LeMans, World Rally Championship, Touring car and more across the globe. AP Racing brakes were the first to complete the 24 Hours of LeMans with no pad or disc change (1999 race winner - BMW V12 LMR). No matter which category AP Racing is involved in, the results are the same - winning!



Brake calipers produced by AP Racing use the latest in materials, post-treatments, coatings and manufacturing methods. One can be fooled by fancy charts and graphs of irrelevant room-temperature caliper deflection. The real test is in the driver’s seat, where no other calipers can compare. Available in 2, 4 and 6-piston variants, all come with dust seals and anti-rattle clips for real-world drivability in any climate and without pad knock. For better pedal feel, AP chooses a 2-piece aluminum design using high-strength steel bolts, which naturally has greater stiffness than typical road-going all-aluminum monoblock calipers. Finished off by hard anodizing and an extremely durable paint system, these calipers look great while doing the dirty work.



AP Racing brake discs are made from the highest quality cast iron. Curved vane technology is used to shed internal heat, and the optimized cross-drilled and slotted face pattern is developed to increase pad bite and improve cooling. Each hole is radiused, not chamfered, to reduce noise and increase fatigue strength. Slotted-only faces are available for heavy track use and overweight or armored vehicles.

AP Racing have tested brake pad compounds from the best friction manufacturers in the world to bring our customers the latest in stopping power, maximum operating temperature, lower disc wear and less dust and noise. Our newest compounds are the best we have ever tested in all categories: performance, rotor life, wear, noise and dust.

AP Racing Rear 4-piston calipers

AP Racing Strap Drive Systems

The Strap Drive System (Patent Pending) has been developed by AP Racing both for Road and Race applications. The standard fitment discs on many performance cars can suffer from brake vibrations caused by disc distortion. This generally occurs on fast road and track installations.



On many performance cars the typical standard disc will be a heavy duty ventilated single piece casting. Couple this type of rigid disc to a standard hub and wheel bearing and the result is any hub distortion / run out will transfer onto the disc brake faces. This eventually results in brake vibrations, usually picked up through the steering wheel.



The strap drive system offers a new take on the floating systems already in the market place. Strap drive uses a series of stainless steel straps to locate the disc to the mounting bell, producing a flexible coupling between the hub and the disc faces. This allows the disc to run true in the caliper under all conditions and also permits the disc to expand and contract without being restricted. Some current replacement discs in the market place have evolved from Motorsport applications, they typically use a drive bobbin to provide some disc float and were devised to reduce pad knock off on race cars. This system can work on a road application but there are some major drawbacks that the Strap Drive has overcome with its simplicity.

Bobbin float discs rely on a series of drive bobbins moving freely in drive slots. This movement can create wear during service and promote noise. The slots can fill up with road / brake debris causing them to seize. AP Racings strap couplings can't suffer from any of these drawbacks. Therefore Service life, brake noise and also brake pedal travel are all improved.
AP Racing has also introduced the strap drive system into a number of our current brake kit range.

Customer sent for feedback after his first track day:

“In OTHER news, I ran the AP fronts/Mintex pads with my factory rears/Pagid RS19 pads at a track day last week. Mission Raceway Park is a 1.6 mile road course with 9 turns and is murder on brakes. The morning was in heavy rain and the afternoon was clear and dry. Handling, braking, brake balance etc. were excellent throughout and the new rotors developed a lovely blue color on the exposed edges and faces. The Mintex pads worked fine, didn’t fade and modulation was excellent.“
