AP Racing BBK

DCNISMO

Alcons are used on lots of race cars as well. They make monoblock cast and forged calipers and the ones I had did not have dust boots, so they were true race systems with full floating discs front and rear. The AP ones in your pics are two piece calipers. Do they make monoblock ones?

AP does make mono blocks. The NASCAR AP's are a full monoblock including the bridge (they run massively thick pads), and the WRC calipers are monoblock with removable bridge for ease of pad change. However for normal track use the non-monoblock AP's are still stiffer than many monoblock calipers from other manufacturers, not the slightest hint of flex.

Floating rotors are an available option from Stillen, different front caliper, not sure.

If you want to drool at a little as what an F1 brake setup looks like that costs more than our cars, check this out (sorry for the off-topic).

A floating rotor set (front and rear) for the sport brakes was offered a few years ago by Relentless Autosports but only a few sets were bought.

mmmm thanks for the info..Does not seem to be a very popular item around these parts is what I am gathering so far. Exactly the reason I posted this thread. Its a feeler thread.

Rusty

You have my attention with this BBK talk. I'm looking to buy a set shortly. Front and rear.

If a little more attention from the community shows up with interest I will start the project and become an advertiser here so that I may start a Intro pricing kit GB or something along those lines. Right now this is a feeler and 2-3 people show interest which I am noting. Thanks for all the replys so far guys.

Been shopping for a brake kit info here and what's embarrasing is your shameless self promotion. You've offered nothing but opinion and no real facts on this mystery kit, yet very opinionated other kits offered are inferior or too expensive. Your objective here is simply to pump your product, you've offerered no real information or useful advice.

Yes AP can make a great caliper, and do is Alcon, and Brembo. And the only way to save money on these kits is skimp on quality or capacity...

So if you're offering something cheaper than the aforementioned kits offered by Stasis, Alconkits, or others, it's because you're likely leaving something on the table. Question is, what? I think if I'm gonna trust my car and my a** to something, it won't be a "kit" put together who's intent is to save money...

In fact I think I can see where... 2 piece calipers, where else?... Inferior product to a monoblock forging... DCNISMO pointed it out.. Didn't Alcon run on most of the ALMS prototypes and Brembo's on all the GT Porsche's? Like him, think I'll go elsewhere too... sheesh...
