Description
The calipers included in this kit are 4 Piston AP Racing Radical 2. The piston sizes are matched extremely well to provide a pedal feel that is just like OEM.
The caliper carriers are made from high strength zinc plated steel. These have steel thread inserts for strength along with a black anodised finish. The supplied front brake lines have been made to our specifications by HEL Performance, which include stainless steel fittings and are finished in their carbon black sheathing. The 2 piece brake discs are assembled with outer rotors made by AP Racing which are of the highest quality steel and come in either grooved or drilled. Matched with our lightweight aluminium bells finished anodised in black, this brake disc setup is a 2 piece assembly and the float is in the disc bell rather than the disc. Lastly the fitting kit includes bolts that are high tensile M12x1.25 coupled with A2 stainless steel spring washers.
