  • 2x Direct bolt-on caliper mounting brackets and bolts
  • 1 Set Brake pads (Other brands available)
  • All necessary mounting hardware for direct bolt-on install

CALIPER SPECS

  • Forged 6061-T6 aerospace grade alloy 2-piece calipers
  • Radial mount design for less flex
  • Pistons 6061-T6 alloy with anti-corrosion coating
  • Dual seals with high temperature resistant oil ring and dust scrappers
  • Stainless steel bleed screw
  • Carbon steel caliper adapter for direct bolt-on installation guaranteed
  • Teflon and stainless steel brake lines DOT/ADR approved with banjo bolt.
  • CNC machined logo
  • Anti-corrosion coating or custom color finish: “Anodized ”+“Powder Coat Paint”


ROTOR SPECS

  • 2-piece rotors with 6061-T6 aerospace grade alloy hat.
  • Fully balanced from the factory
  • Rotor ring in FC25 cast iron with anti corrosion coating.
  • Drilled / Slotted / Drilled and Slotted rotor ring available at no extra cost. (We advise drilled for street and slotted only for track and race applications)
  • Full-floating rotors use floating hardware with anti-rattle system (removable and rebuildable). It provides a lower tendency to warp, less drag and wear as the rotor ring centers itself with the pads. Available for 330x32mm rotors and bigger only.

APG BRAKE PADS COMPOUNDS

– Street pads (GREY)

For street use, having little noise and dust, while providing good braking power and friction both at low and high temperatures.

These are specifically designed in order to provide good bite and feel as well as good longevity of the pads and rotors.

Optimal temperature range: 0~500°C

Maximum temperature: ~550°C

Coefficient of friction: 0.38~0.45

– Sport pads (BLUE)

For street/track use, providing low noise and dust, high braking power and friction both at low and high temperatures.

These are specifically designed in order to provide stronger bite and race feel as well as good longevity of the pads and rotors.

Optimal temperature range: 0~550°C

Maximum temperature: ~600°C

Coefficient of friction: 0.40~0.50

– Race pads (RED)

For race use only: for maximum braking power, bite and friction. 

These are a must for race cars or track use, providing a consistent and predictable strong braking with minimal brake fade at high temperatures. Feel free to request two sets of pads if you want a set for street and a set for race for your weekend warrior.

Optimal temperature range: 100~700°C

Maximum temperature: ~750°C

Coefficient of friction: 0.42~0.58

– Pro Race pads (YELLOW)

For race use only: this is a new race compound that pushes the limits even further. We were able to achieve a much higher temperature range while offering a very high coefficient of friction for extreme race use conditions.

Optimal temperature range: 100~800°C

Maximum temperature: ~850°C

Coefficient of friction: 0.58~0.68

Disclaimer: The race (RED) and pro race (YELLOW) brake pads are noisier than other standard pads and will wear out the rotors faster than the street pads and produce more dust due to the operating temperature range being higher; it is not recommended for everyday street use.

Anodized

Anodization is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. The APG anodized finish is a 2-3 layer process only available in various colors.
