AP Racing, a manufacturer of performance braking and clutch systems that targets both road and racing vehicles has expanded its Formula Big Brake Kit range, including the Ford Focus RS (second generation) in its offer.
The Ford Focus RS has received a six-piston front brake kit, which has been tailor-designed for the vehicle’s standard 19 inch RS wheels. The company has made sure that that the optimum setup for ultimate performance was installed.
“This ideal fitment has been achieved by careful profiling of the caliper ensuring that when it is combined with the Ø355x32mm disc that there is no need for wheel spacers, resulting in uncompromised handling. The disc also features 48 curved cooling vanes with a new style face pattern which involves a series of short intermittent groves, developed to help reduce overall brake noise,” explained the press release.
“The disc mounting bell features AP Racing’s innovative and bespoke swan neck design which is less restrictive on the disc as it goes through the extreme heat cycles that are imposed on performance brakes.”
The full kits includes calipers, discs and brake pads, as well as bespoke mounting bracket and bolts, a braided hose kit, and DOT 5.1 high temperature brake fluid.
The company’s brake kits use design features and technology that are based on its motorsport developments. This makes the products suitable for both everyday driving and trackday sessions.
"Large discs and multi piston calipers considerably increase the stopping power, making the brakes more responsive which results in increased levels of confidence in late braking techniques when used on the track," stated the press release.
