Ap racing big brakes

Hey guys,

just wanted to see if anyone here has AP racing big brakes on their g35s?

seems like no one has aftermarket big brake kits



Im looking at purchasing the Ap big brakes (red):


front: http://www.intensepower.com/apfrbigbr621.html

rear: http://www.intensepower.com/apra42rofrbi.html

$4,620 total.

Also, again, do you guys think theyll fit the 19" infiniti sport rims?

think that price is reasonable?

can ANYONE help--this is my 3rd post talking about big brake kits. and ive got little to no response

take care guys

One of the guys that tracks with us has AP Racing brakes on his G35. I'm not sure what compounds he's running. They're pretty agressive. He needed them because he went the FI route. Typically, the more power you make...the harder it is to stop it.

I would think your oem 19"s has enough room to clear. if not, you could get some Kics Project or H&R spacers to make additional clearances.

I was originally going to get brembos for all 4 wheels until the thought of $6000 crossed my mind... Ap is at high 4,000..still a lot more expensive then I originally thought or intended to spend

its not about stopping better, but being to repeatedly stop...like at the race track

stock brakes tend to overheat and fade.... thats why I upgraded


also STOPTECH

I would look into Racing Brake before you decide for sure. Plus they give a discount to forum members.

A customer of mine has the AP racing 6 piston fronts and 4 rear. There awesome brakes and the car stops on a dime. They'll definately clear the 19's as they cleared his stock 18
's with no problems

Hello,

Rphillips6487, AP's will clear 19's. There are many good choices out there to go with. What application are you looking for? Street, Track, Drift? There are a few companies out there you can look into... AP Racing, Stoptech, Rotora, Brembo, Wilwood, K-Sport, Greddy Grex, Project Mu, or Endless. See which kits have the most options; as far as rotor size, 1-piece or 2-piece, caliper finishes, piston quantity, brake pad compound, and extras (such as braided lines and fluid). I have at least one customer for each of those brands, and everyone of them has been happy. Do your homework, and see which setup is best for you! Good Luck!! Thanks!!

-Mike
