Radi-CAL Competition Front Big Brake Kit 372x34mm

The AP Racing by Essex Radi-CAL Competition Brake Kit provides a significant upgrade for the Chevrolet C8 Corvette's braking system, focusing on track-ready performance and durability. This front kit utilizes 372x34mm AP Racing J Hook discs featuring 84 vanes, designed to withstand the extreme heat generated during track sessions. The calipers are constructed with a two-piece, drop-forged body, finished with anodizing for enhanced durability. Anti-knockback springs are included to mitigate pedal drop during aggressive cornering, ensuring a consistent and reliable pedal feel. These calipers are designed with increased airflow between brake fluid pathways to lower operating temperatures. The Radi-CAL design, rooted in CAD and FEA, provides a massive increase in stiffness (over 30%) and a considerable reduction in mass compared to conventional calipers. This results in improved pedal feel, modulation, and more even pad wear. The CP9668 calipers specifically accommodate 25mm thick brake pads, offering extreme durability and extended service intervals, making them ideal for multi-hour endurance racing or for those looking to reduce the frequency of pad changes. This kit is compatible with Chevrolet C8 Corvette models from 2020 to 2025, including Base, Z51, and Z06 trims. The system aims to save approximately 14 unsprung pounds from the nose over OEM Z51 brakes and has a minimal weight penalty compared to OEM Z07 Carbon Ceramic systems.
