Important info for anyone considering an Essex/AP Racing Brake Upgrade!
Since the introduction of AP Racing's revolutionary Pro5000R Radi-CAL calipers in 2015, we've managed to hold our prices at the introductory level. For 2018 however, we've had a substantial cost increase from AP Racing on these calipers. As such, we have no choice but to pass some of that increase along.
Effective March 1st 2018, retail prices on all brake kits that include Pro5000R Radi-CAL calipers will increase by $300 (CP9660, CP9668, CP9449, 9450, 9451). That includes both front and rear kits. If you're considering one of our brake kits in the near future, now is the time to place your order!
Our Radi-CAL Competition Brake Kits are the most unique and most capable brake systems on the market, offering a laundry list of benefits that are unobtainable elsewhere at any price. They remain a bargain at the new retail prices, and will continue to transform our customers' time at the track from frustrating to fun. Thank you for your continued support as we move into 2018, and please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Yes, they do work well. I have been happy with them since I installed them. The rear kit paid for itself the day I purchased it since it was cheaper than replacing the stock ceramic rotors and pads. The front kit is close to break even after I replaced the rotors with 14 track days and maybe a few more left in them. The Rotors get a little better wear than the ceramics and are 1/4 of their cost.
AP Racing brakes from Essex Parts have been my most significant investment in my Z06 with the most significant return. The confidence they inspire on the track is hard to put a price on.
I agree. I have beat and beat and beat on those brakes for over two years on my C7 Z06 and they never fade, far outlast the stock pieces, and consumables are a fraction of the cost.
So many endorsements already, but let's face it...it's because they're amazing brakes. Still enjoying mine and they basically are near zero maintenance. Money well spent.
Plus the support from Jeff and the folks at Essex. Thanks for all you do!
Installed mine in the off season, so very little mileage on them. Feel great on the street! First track day is in March. Looking forward to stomping on them. FYI: Just be careful with getting brake fluid on the painted logos! They no likey!
Hi,
It's too late to order at the old prices. All of our kits are available at the current prices however. Shoot me a PM or email me with any questions. Thanks!
