One pair of brand new boxed AP RACING 378x36mm floating discs.

Full details can be seen on the AP Racing website:
http://www.apracing.com/car/caliper/pro.htm
PRO 5000+ 6 piston race calipers.
Light weight racing calipers.

You're the 3rd person to ask about fitment under Rondells on an Escos

18" rondells will be either very close or they might not fit.

If a cardboard template of the inside of your wheel is made up I could tell you 100% if they fit or not or you could make up a template from the caliper installation drawing thats on AP's website and try it inside the wheel yourself, let me know if you want any help with this.

Ideally you would need either 18" motorsport or 19" road wheels but a template is the only way of knowing for sure!


Cheers, Stuart

Thanks for confirming things Simbo

If your mate uses CP7040 or CP5555 road calipers and theres only 3mm of radial clearance then yes these calipers with a 3mm lower radial profile would only fit under 18" Rondells with 368mm discs

I have some other AP race 6pots with a considerably lower profile and therefore will probably fit under 18" Rondells with 378's, if not I can either reduce the discs to 375mm or use 355's instead.

Unfortunately these will be sold as part of a front and rear kit (you'll need a hydraulic handbrake though):

AP 6piston/6pad race calipers, titanium air gap pistons, Metal Matrix Composite monoblock body.

AP 4piston/2pad race calipers, titanium pistons, water cooled, small piston area for correct rear brake balance.

Either 378x32mm or 355x32mm AP floating discs BOTH front and rear


Cheers, Stuart

I can't belive these have not sold they are worth every penny


you couldn't buy even the road version cp5555 kit for that price and these are proper racing calipers



i guess some of you don't know what your looking at

I bought a pair of Cp5555 calipers (min 356mm disc fittment) and a pair of 356mm x36 mm 48 vain 12 groves discs none floating /ds2500 pads brackects ,bells ,bolts just over 2k and mine are just road version

if these were about i would have broke your arm to have get these calipers

Marco would these calipers be suitable for the road ie do they have dust guards and why are they better than the road version ?

You're very welcome John, can't wait to see them on your 3dr with those white wheels

You best fit some decent sticky rubber like Porkies 3dr otherwise you'll find out how bad the ABS is (unless you disconnect it)!

Your Skyline sounds mental BTW

Turbo lag:

The Pro5000+ range doesn't use dust seals.
I've had AP race 4pots (no dust seals) on my RS500 for 9 years without a problem, loads of other peeps on here run race calipers on the road too without having seized pistons so yes i'd say they were suitable. If you use aggressive brake pads then i'd make sure you clean the dust off the pistons when you change the pads otherwise yes it can build up and seize.

If I were only using upto a 362mm disc then i'd probably buy the road calipers (CP5555) as they're slightly cheaper but very similar to the above.
NO AP road caliper takes a 378mm disc so you could say thats why these are better!

The CP7040 AP road caliper is also very good value for money but are each 0.9kg heavier than the CP5555 (with 180mm mounting).

AP told me that if you use the road calipers for racing the dust seals can be damaged (split) by excessive heat and would therefore no longer be effective.

I originally bought these calipers and discs to go on my everyday work Mondeo ST220, 15,000 miles & 2 'ring trips a year so I don't think John will have a problem with his road / trackday Sierra.

Hi Stuart

Deffo not the case , the Cp5555 there are 2 types apart from leading and trailing

one of the Cp5555 calipers can use upto a 378/380 providing that you use the ones that requires a minimum of 355 disc

the other Cp5555 only has a max 355 disc and minimum 330 disc

Hi Dave

these would be ok on the road mate , although they don't have dust seals

thats no big deal tho

Hiya Andy, yes it is mate, so whats wrong with your calipers as in why can't they be repaired, any pics??? Shame if its true as CP3796 are great calipers. I take it you've got 355x28mm discs?


Marco, I really hope your right but are you sure, AP state 2 sizes:

355-362mm or 330-355. I've never had a CP5555 caliper in my hands so i'll take your word for it, i'll ask AP for a layout drawing as I hope to use a pair with 378's both front and rear
