The KVR / AP
Racing Big Brake system is a 4 wheel braking system that was developed
specifically for the NSX taking into account the unique braking
requirements of the mid engine design.
Other systems available use off the shelf components and adapting these components often lead to
compromises such as deletion of the emergency brake and the required use
of proportioning valves to regain some of the braking balance lost.
This system uses the high quality components including AP Racing 5200
series calipers. This design also offers good wheel clearance due to the
compact AP Racing caliper design.
Discs are available with either slotted or cross drilled faces. |

What makes the ScienceofSpeed AP Racing Kit
better: |
| Construction: |
- Design eliminates the two largest
problems with existing kits: brake balance and deletion of the
factory e-brake.
- This system was designed
exclusively for the NSX, and is optimized for the NSX's weight
distribution and braking characteristics. The result is linear
balanced braking.
- Sequentially-sized pistons are
larger on the trailing edge than the leading edge of the caliper.
Other brake kits are not.
- Highest grade mounting hardware
utilized including aircraft quality disc fasteners.
- Lightweight 2 piece rotor uses 13"
heat-treated discs & CNC aluminum billet hats.
- Discs & calipers are supplied with
painted thermal strips allowing user to monitor brake running
temperatures.
|
| Performance: |
- Optimal brake balance delivers a
properly balanced kit out of the box. This translates into incredible
linear-effort braking confidence.
- Durable components offer consistent
braking power.
|
| Replacement components: |
- Standardized pad profiles offer
numerous pad compound choices. Replacement components easily
accessible from ScienceofSpeed or other vendors.
