Who wants to see Wilwood Brakes vs. AP Racing Brakes ( Sprint Kit )

35-45 offset are just right for a 17x9 wheel on our cars, IMO.

Thx so it won't hit between the wheel and the caliper due to the heat expansion right?then from 35-45 which one will give u more clearance? (Just worried that the wheel and the caliper make contact ) by the way,how do u like it on the track w bigger wheels and tires?

If you want to clear a bbk you have to +35 in a 17x9 to work for the rpf1. We got sets of silvers in stock.

Best price shipped to 94066 in black though

I have never had dust boots on any of my Brembos on other cars not melt after a track day. As far as I know, on all brake kits and track use, the dust boots typically melt, they are rubber after all.

Just wanted to check did anybody tried using the AP Racing CP3908 rotors meant for the Endurance kit on the Sprint kit?

You will need the proper designed hat and bracket from the Endurance kit before bolting it up. The hat allows that ring to float proper and the bracket will bring the caliper outboard to accommodate the larger rotor.

So technically its possible with just the rotors and the hats I assume?

You need the caliper brackets. I'm not sure that hats are actually different, depends on inside diameter of the rotor. The floating feature is built into the rotor (slotted mounting hole), the hole in the hat shouldn't be. I haven't seen an endurance kit in person (except for the caliper bracket) so I can't say for sure that they are the same but I've never seen another floating setup with slots in the hats. That doesn't mean the hats aren't different for other reasons though. For the limited research I did when I considered this you would need brackets, rotors and multiple bits of hardware/bolts. The advice from Jeff at the time was to stay with the Sprint kit, or sell it and buy the endurance kit. The cost of the parts was more than the difference in kit prices.. hell just the rotors were basically the difference in kit price if one tried to convert.

Mmmm...Endurance kit.

FWIW I use the Wilwood kit, with semi slicks, for 10-15 lap sessions, and they are excellent.

Not doubting the AP kits at all. But most don't need it.

4 Piston or 6 Piston kit?

Hi there, I'm in the market to get a BBK for my ZN6, I have a couple of clarification points though that you may enlighten me with:

1. What's the major difference of the AP Racing BBK kit specifically Sprint vs. Endurance? Which is best for my application? More of street and occasional track like once every quarter.
2. Can I upgrade just the front brakes?

Thank you very much in advance.
