AP Racing Radi-CAL Competition Front Kit 372mm - C6 Corvette

The AP Racing by Essex Radi-CAL Competition Brake Kit is a front brake upgrade for every 2005-2013 C6 Corvette. It pairs AP Racing CP9660 Radi-CAL Pro5000R racing calipers with 372 x 34mm, 72-vane AP Racing J Hook discs on fully floating aluminum hats, built for track days and competition driving.

Why upgrade

The kit removes about 10 lb of unsprung weight from the front of the car compared with base the OEM brakes, and 13 lbs. from C6 Z06. Each caliper weighs 6.2 lb without pads, against 10.1 lb for the factory caliper. Each two-piece disc weighs 19.1 lb, compared with 21.8 lb for the original 325mm disc. The 18mm pad is thicker than the 14.7mm factory pad, so it lasts longer and absorbs more heat between changes. Every component is designed to resist the heat of extended track sessions. Pistons are sized to work seamlessly with the OEM master cylinder and ABS. It works with the OEM rear brakes or a matching AP Racing rear kit.

Caliper and disc construction

On the C6 Corvette, the CP9660 caliper mounts radially on a dedicated bracket at 180mm centers with a 42mm offset, with an M10x1.0 inlet thread. Anti-knockback springs behind the caliper pistons limit pad knockback. The anodized caliper finish resists wear and deterioration at high temperatures. Stainless steel caliper hardware gives a long service life even with frequent pad changes. There are no dust boots to burn up at track temperatures. Pads change with two bolts or a quick-change spring clip, with no caliper removal. The championship-winning 72-vane AP Racing J Hook discs are fully floating. The discs use anti-knockback, anti-rattle attachment hardware.
