Brake Caliper FAQs
What is the difference between the AP Racing CP9660 and CP9668?
The primary difference is the pad thickness they accommodate. The CP9660 typically uses an 18mm pad, making it ideal for many sprint applications, while the CP9668 is a wider caliper that takes a 25mm pad, designed for endurance racing where pad longevity is critical.
Why choose the Alcon CAR89 series?
The Alcon CAR89 is a versatile, high-stiffness caliper widely used in Australian motorsport. Whether in the standard "Motorsport" trim or the "TA6+" variant, it offers incredible reliability and is compatible with a massive range of racing brake pad compounds.
Do these calipers require specific brake pads?
Yes, motorsport calipers use specific pad shapes. We stock a large range of Dixcel Brake Pads designed specifically to fit Alcon CAR series and AP Racing Pro5000R profiles in various compounds for street and track.
