The GT-R's original equipment (OE) brake discs just don't have the staying power when pushed to the limits. Premature brake disc cracking is something no one wants to see after a day of fun. It didn't take long for many to realize this is one of the few areas of weakness in an otherwise incredible car.
Quickly responding to customer demand, STILLEN is now offering AP Racing upgraded discs that mount straight onto the OE brake hats. These discs have been track proven (Ní¼rburgring, Silverstone and more) on GT-R's in extreme conditions by professional drivers. They not only lasted much longer without cracking, several drivers reported improved brake pedal feel and easier pedal modulation. The best thing is that these upgraded discs cost even less than standard factory replacements.
These discs are from a new AP Racing casting specifically designed for heavy sports cars. It uses a 72 curve vane design, using the same OE air gap of 17mm and increasing mass with thicker walls. The result is a disc with higher thermal capacity which is needed on a vehicle that is heavily tracked, very hard to design effective air ducting and sees high disc temperatures.
AP Racing also beefed up the disc flange and bell by using 12 mounting points vs. the OE 10 points.
