Choosing Your AP Racing Brake System for Dubai & UAE Driving

For drivers in the UAE, where high-speed driving and track events are common, an AP Racing brake system is a critical investment in safety and performance. When selecting your system, consider:

• Vehicle & Application: AP Racing offers vehicle-specific kits for prestigious marques like Porsche, BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Audi R8, and Nissan GT-R. Choose a kit designed for your exact car model and intended use (street, track, or various racing series like TC, GT, Rally).

• Axle Specificity: Select brake kits for the front, rear, or both axles, ensuring optimal brake bias and overall system performance.

• Performance Goals: Determine if you need a system primarily for spirited street driving (e.g., using CP5200 calipers) or uncompromising track performance (e.g., CP9660 calipers with J-Hook discs).

• Pad Compound Choice: While AP Racing kits often come with high-performance pads, a wide range of racing and street+ compounds are available to fine-tune your braking feel and thermal capabilities.

• Professional Installation: Due to the complexity and critical safety aspect of brake systems, professional installation by qualified specialists is absolutely essential for correct function, optimal performance, and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions About AP Racing Performance Brakes (FAQ)

• Q: What makes AP Racing brake systems superior to OEM brakes?

• A: AP Racing systems are engineered with motorsport-derived technology, featuring larger, more rigid calipers, high-capacity two-piece discs, and advanced pad compounds. This results in dramatically improved stopping power, superior fade resistance under sustained heavy braking, and a more consistent, confidence-inspiring pedal feel compared to most OEM setups.

• Q: Are AP Racing brake kits direct bolt-on installations?

• A: Yes, most AP Racing performance brake kits are designed as direct bolt-on replacements for specific vehicle applications. They come complete with calipers, discs, pads, brackets, and brake lines, minimizing the need for custom fabrication. Professional installation is still highly recommended.

• Q: Will installing an AP Racing brake kit affect my car's ABS system?

• A: AP Racing brake kits are designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle's original ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). The caliper piston sizes and disc diameters are carefully chosen to maintain proper brake bias, ensuring the ABS system functions as intended without compromise.

• Q: What is the benefit of "J-Hook" brake discs?

• A: J-Hook slot patterns on AP Racing discs provide several advantages. They increase the initial bite of the brake pads, enhance pad regeneration, help sweep away dust and gases, and are designed to resist thermal cracking better than traditional drilled rotors, leading to improved performance and longevity.

• Q: Do I need to use special brake fluid with AP Racing systems?

• A: For optimal performance and safety, especially in high-performance or track driving, it is highly recommended to use a high-temperature racing brake fluid (e.g., DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 with high wet/dry boiling points) with AP Racing brake systems.

• Q: Does ATOMIC-SHOP offer assistance in choosing the right AP Racing brake system?

• A: Yes, our team of experts at ATOMIC-SHOP is highly knowledgeable about the entire AP Racing range. We can provide personalized consultation to help you select the ideal brake kit that matches your vehicle, driving style, and performance aspirations.

• Q: What kind of warranty do AP Racing products carry?

• A: As an authorized distributor, ATOMIC-SHOP provides genuine AP Racing products backed by the manufacturer's warranty. Specific warranty terms vary by product and will be provided at the time of purchase.
