Hello Gents,
I posted some details about some of the brake products we've been working on in a separate thread, but I thought I'd start a new thread for these discs since they'll be our first available product, and they're coming soon!
These are heavy duty AP Racing discs that are identical to what we use in professional racing. If you're unfamiliar with AP Racing, they're widely considered the global leader in racing brakes. They cover much of the field in Formula 1, ALMS, NASCAR Sprint Cup, WRC...all of the field in Aussie V8, DTM, etc.
Below is a quick feature summary for our new Mustang GT PP front discs. We sell something very similar for the Dodge Viper, and you can check out all of the product details on our website. We're currently working on the webpage for these discs, and will have it up shortly.
As far as I can tell, this is going to be the simplest way to shave 20 lbs. of unsprung weight off the nose of your car.
Our prototyping is done and we're moving into production. We will start deliveries of these in 6-8 weeks, but we'll likely open pre-orders before then. Stay tuned, and feel free to email me with any questions. :cheers:
These discs are almost identical to the discs we used for the Corvette C6.R in ALMS. People will be blown away by the abuse they can take on a racetrack.
