Big brake kit using the new AP 6 pots
Been waiting on delivery of the new AP 6 pot calipers , the CP9040 , which is the next caliper up from the popular 7040 we have used for the last 6 years or so.
Dimension wise they are the same as the 7040 , same mounting points , same piston size , and same shape pad , pads are important as they are cheap for the size of them , The DS2500's , PF Z rated , EBC orange and blues are just some of the pads available , and all priced under £145 a set.
The calipers are a much nicer design , and are now powder coated so have a hard shiny finish , and are still available in black or red , one main advantage is the calipers are now forged where as the 7040 calipers were cast , so will be a lot stronger , and also comes with bridge bolts to reduce any flex even further.
We have just made a kit up and sent it our yesterday to the customer , we can offer the kit with 330mm discs to fit under 17" wheels , or a 355mm kit to fit under 18" wheels , or even use the AP 363mm disc again for 18" wheels
We are offing the kits complete ready to fit , so will come with black CP9040 6 pot calipers , Godspeed grooved discs with black anodised alloy bells , black anodised alloy brackets , bolts , and a choice of pad.
The 330mm kit is £1450
The 355mm kit is £1550
P&P is £15 to a mainland UK address , we can also ship them worldwide , ask for a shipping quote

Not bad priced Ian :-)
How much of an upgrade will this 330mm 6pot kit be over your original AP Racing 4 pot 330mm setup?
How much extra will it be for DS3000's?
Are the discs a common AP Racing PCD so if needed in the future could run PFC rotors?
Car will be used for track/sprint use, so welcome your recommendation.
Finally are these prices inclusive of VAT?
Thanks

You will notice the difference more going from 4 to 6 pots on the track , braking consistently from high speed would be much better , we have DS3000's on the shelf so could include those at no extra cost.
On this kit we use a PCD of 10 x 192mm which is different to the AP 330mm discs , and the reason for this is the width of the pads , The pad the 9040 caliper uses is 8mm wider than the pads for the AP5200 calipers , so if you try to fit them on a 330mm AP disc the pads will overhang the inside edge and rub on the bells.
I guess you can machine the inside radius of the pads to suit , but then your losing overall performance by fitting a smaller pad.
Our 330mm discs in this kit are also slightly thicker than the AP discs , AP more common 330mm discs are 28mm thick , ours are 30mm , the extra thickness certainly helps with heat .
Hope this helps
Cheers Ian

Brilliant, thanks Ian answers my questions.
Will definitely be taking a set off you with the 3000's.
How well do you think your discs will last/cope with track use?
Are you able to provide me with a VAT invoice?
Had best get the old ones off and sold!
Thanks

Hi Tom
No problem with the discs on the track , I offer a 12 month guarantee against them warping even if you do track days , so you will have no worries there , we supply our discs to a lot of track dayers , rally and race cars and very rarely get any issues.
Yes the kit will come with a vat invoice

We can offer them with AP 363mm discs , and our own bells and brackets for £1650
Very similar at lowish normal speeds , the 6 pots would be better at higher speeds , and far better braking from very high speeds as in track days

Yes we can offer you a 304mm kit using the CP5200 calipers , or the race 5040 which are basically the same but have no dust seals , and are finished in a grey anodised finish , the 5200's are either black or red , we can offer you that kit with a choice of pad for £1295.
We can offer the same kit for 17" wheels with 330mm discs for the same price
