AP Racing Radi-CAL ENP Competition Front Kit 355mm - Civic Type R FK8

Built for the FK8 Honda Civic Type R, this AP Racing by Essex Radi-CAL ENP Competition Brake Kit swaps the factory Brembo front brakes for AP Racing CP9660 Radi-CAL Pro5000R six-piston calipers in a nickel plated finish and 355 x 32mm, 72-vane J Hook discs. The FK8 is quick enough on a road course to overwhelm its stock pads and fluid, and this kit gives it a front system designed around repeated heat cycles.

Why upgrade

The kit removes about 5 pounds of unsprung weight from the front of the car. Each CP9660 caliper weighs 6.2 pounds without pads versus 7.85 pounds for the factory caliper, and each disc 17.6 pounds versus 18.8. More important for track drivers is the thicker 18mm pad, compared with 14.7mm stock, plus a stiffer caliper and a disc with far more cooling vanes. Pistons are sized for the OEM master cylinder and ABS, so the Type R keeps its stability systems and pedal feel.

Caliper and disc construction

Radi-CAL calipers are asymmetric, with material placed along the load paths by computer modeling, making them very stiff for their weight. The electroless nickel plating resists wear and deterioration even at high temperatures and is easy to clean. Stainless pistons, anti-knockback springs and low-drag seals are standard. The CP7177 discs ride on 6061 hard anodized aluminum hats with fully floating hardware.
