  • Caliper Bridge Pad Tension Clips (anti-rattle clips) on 394mm kits
  • Detailed installation instructions

Brake pads are not included. Racing pads are a personal choice, so Essex leaves them out of the kit price. The AP Racing Pro5000R calipers use industry-standard pad shapes stocked by every major pad manufacturer (Ferodo, Pagid, PFC, Raybestos, Endless, Hawk and more). Ask us to add a set at a bundled price.

CP9661 vs. CP9669. Both are AP Racing Pro5000R Radi-CAL six-piston calipers with ventilated stainless pistons and anti-knockback springs. The CP9661 uses the common 18mm-thick FRP3144 pad shape. The CP9669 takes 25mm-thick (1") pads for longer pad life and more thermal mass; it is about 1 lb heavier per corner and needs ~14mm more wheel spoke clearance. CP9669 kits are supplied in ENP finish only.

Spare 394x34mm iron disc rings: 13.05.10050 (RH) / 13.05.10051 (LH) with 12-bolt hardware kits – ask us.

Caliper finish. Standard kits use AP Racing's hard anodized finish. ENP kits use the same caliper with a jewel-like Electroless Nickel Plated finish that is exceptionally durable, resists brake dust staining and is easy to clean.
