ESSEX Big Brake Kits - AP Racing PRO5000R Porsche GT4 981 718

The benchmark big brake kits from Essex, a proven and recognised solution: every component is optimised to cut unsprung mass. These kits are generally much lighter than the original cast-iron parts.

Fitting a big brake kit for track day use not only delivers uncompromising performance, it also preserves the original brakes at lower cost. This allows you to resell with brakes in perfect condition.

Kit compatible with GT4 of the 981 and 718 generations.

Several versions available (details in the drop-down menu just above):

- Front kit with AP RACING CP9661 6-piston PRO5000R calipers (18 mm pads) + 394mm x34mm disc

- Rear kit with AP RACING CP9449 4-piston PRO5000R calipers (18mm pads)+ 380mm x32mm disc

All kits include: calipers, bells, brackets, AP Racing friction rings, fasteners, brake lines but no pads!

Please also note that all kits are designed, sized and optimised to work perfectly with the original ABS and master cylinders; the front kits work with or without the rear kit.

All fit 19" wheels, and the original 20" wheels without spacers, and provide a weight saving of several kilos in unsprung mass; all discs are floating-mounted on high-precision, hard-anodised aerospace aluminium bells for vibration-free running.

Many brake kits are sold with low-cost pads to give the impression of a good deal, but when it comes to braking, there is no room for approximation! We chose to keep the price tight rather than add unnecessary extras at a higher cost.

Kits imported from the US, no customs duties, no VAT on arrival, no hidden costs.

Team Lupos note:

"These kits need proper pads. Nobody buys an Essex kit by accident, so we will not impose a choice of pads on you. We will be happy to advise you on the best-performing option."
