Essex/AP Racing Sprint Kit proven in endurance racing by Toyota engineers
Hey Guys,
I wanted to share a post we just published on our Essex Blog. We've heard some chatter by competitors over the years about what our Essex Designed AP Racing Sprint Brake Kit can't do: "It's too small/lightweight, you need a rear kit, the discs won't last, etc." We're here to tell you again that is pure nonsense. A group of Toyota engineers from their Arizona proving grounds contacted us last summer about helping with the brakes on their 86 racecar. They installed and pummeled our Sprint Kit in the NASA Western Endurance Racing Championship, in which a typical race would be four hours long. They were even on track to run the entire 25 Hours of Thunderhill on one set of pads, but an unfortunate failure (unrelated to brakes) ended their race early. They sealed up the 2018 championship with our kit, and provided some great feedback along the way. Quote:

Cool! A couple questions though, are they just running stock oem rotors in the rear? Also how are they fitting RPF1s over the Sprint kit, I thought they had insufficient clearance?

To our knowledge, yes they are just running OEM rear discs. There are at least six different variants of the RPF1 fit over our Sprint Kit without a spacer (bold red below). Wheel fitment data from our website: Confirmed wheels that fit our Essex/AP Sprint Kit without a spacer:
