AP Racing Big Brake Kits
We spec and fit AP Racing brake kits on everything from Sydney street cars to dedicated time attack builds running at The Bend and Wakefield Park. AP Racing is genuine race hardware, not a parts-bin brand we carry to fill a category. If you want a caliper that holds pedal feel after ten hard laps, this is where you start.

Why AP Racing
AP Racing calipers use pressure-die cast bodies and an asymmetrical (Radi-CAL) design to cut mass without losing rigidity. Less flex in the caliper means less pedal travel and a firmer, more consistent feel as the discs heat up. That matters more than raw clamping force once you're doing repeat hot laps rather than a single stop.
We stock and recommend AP Racing where the car and the driver actually need it: cars doing regular track days, time attack builds, and street cars that get driven hard enough that OEM brakes start to fade. On a CP9660 kit we've fitted on a track-prepped M3, the 380mm disc pulls up hard lap after lap with no fade through a 20-minute session, which is the whole point of moving to a big brake kit over pads and rotors alone. For a daily driver doing occasional spirited drives, a pad and rotor upgrade from DIXCEL will usually get you further before a big brake kit is worth the outlay.
AP Racing kits come with full genuine AP Racing warranty support, and we handle the claims process on your behalf if anything ever needs looking at. Because these are genuine imported kits rather than grey-market parts, you get proper backup from us if you need fitment advice, replacement pads or discs, or help sourcing a specific part number down the track.
Fitment & Installation
CP9660 six-piston kits are commonly run on BMW M3 (E9x, F8x), Porsche 991 platforms, and Subaru WRX STI, but caliper mounting, disc diameter and bracket design all change between chassis and even between model years within the same chassis code. [VERIFY: exact model-year and variant applicability against the specific kit part number before ordering]. Always confirm the kit is listed for your model and wheel fitment, as clearance behind common aftermarket wheels can be tight, particularly on 18-inch fitments.
Some AP Racing racing calipers, including certain CP9660 and CP9668 variants, do not have internal dust seals, which makes them for race and motorsport use only rather than daily street use in dusty or wet conditions. Their Factory Competition kits are built with street use in mind and include the seals a road car needs. We can help you pick the right version for how the car is actually used.
Big brake kits usually need larger wheels to clear the caliper and disc. Check your wheel fitment before committing to a kit, and budget for new lines or braided hoses if you're moving away from the factory caliper mounting point.

FAQ
What is AP Racing Radi-CAL technology?
Radi-CAL is an asymmetrical caliper design that cuts weight while increasing stiffness. It improves airflow through the caliper, which keeps operating temperatures and pedal feel more consistent on track.
Will an AP Racing big brake kit fit my wheels?
Not always without checking. Big brake kits increase caliper and disc diameter, so wheel clearance needs to be confirmed for your specific wheel and offset before you order.
Can I run AP Racing calipers on a street car?
Depends on the kit. Pure racing calipers like some CP9660 and CP9668 variants often lack dust seals and are for race and motorsport use only. AP Racing's Factory Competition kits are designed for street use. We can point you to the right one for your car.
Do you cover fitment across BMW, Porsche, Subaru and Toyota platforms?
Yes. See the vehicle-specific collections above for the chassis we regularly supply kits for. Because fitment varies by model year and variant, confirm the exact application with us before ordering.
What's the warranty and support process if something goes wrong?
AP Racing kits carry genuine manufacturer warranty. If you have a fitment issue or a warranty claim, come to us first. We deal with AP Racing directly so you're not stuck sorting it out yourself.
