IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE FOR CUSTOMERS All AP Racing brake calipers are designed and exhaustively tested to ensure they meet a set of specified parameters for both strength and durability. It is important when selecting a brake caliper to ensure that the relevant operating parameters are not exceeded on the application on which the product is to be installed. Technical Data Sheets for Road calipers can be found on our website for most calipers listed but not for all currently. It is the responsibility of the person specifying these products for a given application to ensure that the design parameters of the product are not exceeded. Please contact AP Racing technical department if the proposed caliper does not have this data available. TECHNICAL DATA SHEETS - BRAKE CALIPERS Each Technical Data Sheet is specific to a caliper or family of calipers and details the maximum working pressure and maximum brake torque for each caliper. In addition they also include a guide to the typical gross vehicle weight to which this relates. These guides assume the application to be a standard passenger vehicle fitted with road tyres and therefore deceleration rates above 13m/s² (1.3g) will not be achievable.
