AP Racing exclusively supplies V8 Supercar with their Radi-CAL brake technology...and German DTM...and they're a leading supplier in WRC, NASCAR Cup, IMSA, etc. You can see the V8 Supercar specs here.

On the front of the V8 Supercar they actually cram a 395x40mm disc into an 18" wheel, mated to an AP Racing Radi-CAL caliper. I took this pic on my desk.



Here it is in action:


Here's a cool blog post we did that looks at the old AP Racing brakes from DTM vs. the new ones.


Here are the brakes off of the upcoming 2018 M4 GT4.



Here's the M6 GT3

Hi guys, thinking of upgrading the brakes and a couple of people have told me that Alcon actually makes better brakes and Brembo is just a bigger brand.

What do you guys think? I was looking at the Brembo GT BBK.
You need to check out our Essex Designed AP Racing Competition Brake Kits. We have several options for the M2, and have a number of awesome M2's running them around the world currently. Our kits have a laundry list of features not offered by our competitors, including Alcon and Brembo.

Below are a couple of pics, and you can read lots of owner reviews in this thread and on our blog.










It's pretty easy to see, AP Racing Radi-CAL brakes and bad@ss BMW's go together like peanut butter and jelly!
Shoot me a PM or email me and I can help you choose the appropriate kit for your needs.
