AP Racing PRO 5000 R Brake Kit by Essex

The AP Racing PRO 5000 R Brake Kit by Essex is a motorsport-focused braking solution designed for enthusiasts who demand high levels of braking performance, consistency and durability on both track and performance applications.

At the heart of the system is the AP Racing PRO 5000 R Radi-CAL caliper, featuring a lightweight two-piece forged aluminium construction and AP Racing's asymmetric design philosophy. The range is developed specifically for competition use and is available in multiple 4-piston and 6-piston configurations.

The PRO 5000 R range supports ventilated racing discs from 280 mm to 390 mm in diameter, depending on the selected caliper and application. The calipers use stainless-steel pistons, full-depth brake pads and high-temperature seals, with anti-knockback springs available or fitted depending on the specific configuration.

The 6-piston versions include applications such as the CP9660 and CP9665/CP9668, with the larger variants supporting discs up to 390 mm and brake pads up to 25 mm thick. These specifications provide substantial thermal capacity and consistent pedal feel for demanding circuit use.

Depending on the vehicle-specific kit, the system can be configured around different disc diameters, caliper mounting centres and pad specifications. AP Racing specifically notes that the PRO 5000 R and PRO 5000+ ranges have dimensional differences, so exact vehicle fitment must be verified before specifying the brake system.

The AP Racing PRO 5000 R Brake Kit by Essex is an ideal upgrade for performance vehicles requiring high-temperature braking, improved consistency, lightweight hardware and motorsport-level braking capability.
