OUR MISSION
From race track to the public streets, our goal is to provide the highest quality solution to all kinds of driving enthusiasts. The core idea of APG is to bring “a perfect gear” for all the users with a perfect guidance on the road.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
INCLUDED IN APG BIG BRAKE KIT
- 2x APG Forged calipers (Forged 6061-T6 alloy)
- 2x 2-pcs rotors with alloy hats (Option full-floating rotors available)
- 2x Teflon/stainless steel DOT/ADR compliant brake lines
- 2x Direct bolt-on caliper mounting brackets and bolts
- 1 Set Brake pads (Other brands available)
- All necessary mounting hardware for direct bolt-on install
CALIPER SPECS
- Forged 6061-T6 aerospace grade alloy 2-piece calipers
- Radial mount design for less flex
- Pistons 6061-T6 alloy with anti-corrosion coating
- Dual seals with high temperature resistant oil ring and dust scrappers
- Stainless steel bleed screw
- Carbon steel caliper adapter for direct bolt-on installation guaranteed
- Teflon and stainless steel brake lines DOT/ADR approved with banjo bolt.
- CNC machined logo
- Anti-corrosion coating or custom color finish: “Anodized ”+“Powder Coat Paint”
ROTOR SPECS
- 2-piece rotors with 6061-T6 aerospace grade alloy hat.
- Fully balanced from the factory
- Rotor ring in FC25 cast iron with anti corrosion coating.
- Drilled / Slotted / Drilled and Slotted rotor ring available at no extra cost. (We advise drilled for street and slotted only for track and race applications)
- Full-floating rotors use floating hardware with anti-rattle system (removable and rebuildable). It provides a lower tendency to warp, less drag and wear as the rotor ring centers itself with the pads. Available for 330x32mm rotors and bigger only.
BRAKE PADS
- We have four compounds of brake pads to give you high performance braking, depending on your driving conditions. You can see the description of each compound below.
- You can also use other brake pad brands with our calipers.
(Such as Brembo, Ferodo, Hawk, Mintex, PAGID, Wilwood or more…)
APG BRAKE PADS COMPOUNDS
-
STREET PADS
GREY
For street use, providing no noise, very little dust, good braking power and friction both at low and high temperatures.
These are specifically designed in order to provide good bite and feel as well as good longevity of the pads and rotors.
Optimal temperature range: 0~500°C
Maximum temperature: ~550°C
Coefficient of friction: 0.38~0.45
-
SPORT PADS
BLUE
For street/track use, providing low noise, little dust, high braking power and friction both at low and high temperatures.
These are specifically designed in order to provide stronger bite and race feel as well as good longevity of the pads and rotors.
Optimal temperature range: 0~550°C
Maximum temperature: ~600°C
Coefficient of friction: 0.40~0.50
-
RACE PADS
RED
For race use only: for maximum braking power, bite and friction. Those brake pads are noisy, they will wear out the rotors faster than the street pads and produce more dust. The operating temperature range is higher and it is not safe for everyday street use.
However, they are a must for a race car or track day providing a consistent and predictable strong braking and longevity at high temperatures. Feel free to request two sets of pads if you want a set for street and a set for race for your weekend warrior.
Optimal temperature range: 100~700°C
Maximum temperature: ~750°C
Coefficient of friction: 0.42~0.58
-
PRO RACE PADS
YELLOW
For race use only: this is a new race compound that pushes the limits even further. We were able to achieve a much higher temperature range while offering a very high coefficient of friction for extreme race use conditions.
Optimal temperature range: 100~800°C
Maximum temperature: ~850°C
Coefficient of friction: 0.58~0.68
AVAILABLE FINISHES
Anodized
Anodized is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts.
APG anodized finish is also a 2-3 layers process only in Iron Grey and Black color.
Powder Coat Paint
High quality customizable paint color option.
Patented Handbrake Retaining Device
- Most aftermarket brake kits on the market don’t have a solution for retaining the use of the handbrake, so the parking brake will no longer be functional. Fortunately APG has the answer in the form of our patented line lock system.
- The line lock modules come attached to our caliper mounting brackets, so you don’t need to mess around finding a place to mount them. The line lock and bracket assembly mount onto the vehicle hub with only 2 bolts, just like any other rear brake kit.
Electronic Handbrake System
Electronic Handbrake Line Locks
- Presenting our eagerly awaited patented electronic line lock system. This system has been designed to work with vehicles that have replaced the traditional handbrake cable with an electronic motor and fly-by-wire control unit.
- The system is a direct replacement for the OEM part, and requires no modification for installation. As you can see from the pictures above, the line lock slots onto the OEM handbrake motor, and is secured in place by our caliper brackets.
- The unit has two brake lines connected to it – one receiving brake fluid from the master cylinder, and other sending fluid to the brake caliper. When you apply the handbrake the valve closes, forcing brake fluid to the caliper under pressure, which causes the pistons to extend and lock the disc in place.
