Essex Designed AP Racing Road Brake Kit - Rear 9541/380mm | 1997-2004 Chevrolet C5 Corvette (20.01.10004)

Chevrolet C5 Corvette AP Racing Road Brake Kit (Rear 9541/380mm) Designed by Essex

AP Racing CP9541 World Radi-CAL II Four Piston Calipers: “Radi-CAL” is a blanket term used to describe AP Racing’s patented asymmetrical brake caliper design. Radi-Cal technology is grounded in Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and allows for organic, alien-looking designs that are a radical departure from conventional caliper designs of the past. Radi-CAL's are widely considered the pinnacle of current brake caliper technology. Since their inception in 2007, these revolutionary calipers have amassed a lengthy string of race victories at all levels of professional motorsport, while redefining brake performance expectations.

Essex Caliper Brackets & Hardware: Caliper brackets for our kit are machined from heat-treated 6061 T6 billet aluminum, and hard anodized, ensuring strength and durability. All included hardware is of aircraft quality, and identical to what we use in professional racing. The brackets also typically include helpful tips for install, such as which direction should be facing the disc.

Ferodo Racing DS2500 Brake Pads: You only get one chance to make a first impression, which is why we include a set of Ferodo DS2500 pads in every AP Racing by Essex Road Brake Kit. Although we always recommend using a dedicated race pad for the track, the Ferodo DS2500 is one of the best hybrid street/track pads on the market. It features the moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad, with the low noise levels and non-corrosive dust of a street pad. During aggressive driving the DS2500 is known for its flat torque curve, which means as temperatures go up, the response through the brake pedal remains consistent. If you drive aggressively on the street, do some canyon runs, autoX, and maybe some light track duty on street tires, the DS2500's broad range of capability is impossible to beat.

AP Racing J Hook Discs: AP Racing J Hook discs have achieved near-legendary status in both professional and amateur racing for their durability and crack resistance. They have been proven time and again, winning many races and championships (ALMS, Rolex, Grand Am, etc. While the discs we're employing in our Road Kits have an impeccable racing pedigree, we've also added some features that will keep them composed and well-mannered on the street).

Spiegler Stainless Steel Brake Lines: Our Road Kits include a set of the highest quality, DOT compliant stainless steel brake lines available. Spiegler lines have a wide range of features not available in competitive offerings.
