{"product_id":"6-piston-caliper-with-stainless-steel-pistons","title":"6-Piston Caliper with Stainless Steel Pistons","description":"Its two-piece, drop-forged caliper body, constructed from a proprietary aluminum alloy, provides exceptional stiffness and allows for efficient machining. This design promotes increased airflow around the pistons, lowering operating temperatures and preventing brake fluid fade.\n\nThis kit features advanced piston technology, including ventilated stainless steel pistons and anti-knockback springs. The stainless steel construction creates a thermal barrier, keeping heat away from brake fluid and maintaining pedal firmness under extreme conditions. Anti-knockback springs mitigate knockback by returning pistons to a neutral position, reducing slack and ensuring consistent pedal response during aggressive cornering and braking.\n\nThe caliper is designed for simple brake pad changes, requiring only a 6mm hex wrench to remove bridge bolts, significantly reducing service time. It also includes pad tension blocks, precision-machined from billet aluminum with a heat-treated stainless steel spring, which subtly tension the top of the brake pad to decrease movement within the caliper.\n\nBrake pads for the CP9449 caliper are available in a widely adopted shape, ensuring compatibility with numerous racing compounds. Specifically, the required pad thickness is 16.75-17.0mm, and the radial depth is D42mm, utilizing the AP Racing CP3215D42 shape. Essex offers a lifetime professional reconditioning service for AP Racing calipers, including hardness testing, ultrasonic cleaning, inspection, re-assembly, and cyclical pressure testing, ensuring long-term performance and support.","brand":"AP Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52686955217208,"sku":"13.01.10137","price":5399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/660183335.jpg?v=1784878879","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/6-piston-caliper-with-stainless-steel-pistons","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
