Finally – the best of both worlds with no compromises! Read more
STILLEN Releases R35 GT-R Brake Rotor Upgrade
January 8, 2009
STILLEN and AP Racing are proud to announce the release of upgraded Curved Vane Front and Rear Brake Rotors for the R35 Nissan GT-R. These AP Racing Rotors are a track-proven upgrade to the OE Brembo components.
The STILLEN / AP Racing Curved Vane Rotors utilize a curved-vane core (48 vanes) which allow for better thermal management, providing improved cooling over the OE pillar vane design. They also have 12 curved slots which improve pad bite and not prone to cracking under severe use, which the OE rotors are plagued by.
2008 Dunlop Targa Rally New Zealand – Wrap Up
November 13, 2008
Well, the rally has been over for about a week and a half now. I have returned home from the 2008 SEMA show and I have finally been able to sit down and breathe a little bit. I’ve watched the videos that you will soon be seeing. I have sorted through all of the pictures which will be making their way on to the blogs soon. And, most importantly, I have thought about the week’s event.

Kyle Busch Wins Tough Road Race With AP Racing
July 1, 2008
Infineon Road Course in Sonoma, California is one of the most challenging tracks on the NASCAR Nextel Cup circuit. With 12 turns and high speed straightaways leading into 30 mile per hour corners these 3,000+ pound cars abuse their brakes to the limit.
On June 22nd Kyle Busch put his AP Racing brakes to the ultimate test and came from 30th starting position to win the race. This win moved him even further ahead as the points leader for the Nextel Cup Championship.
.
Immediately after getting out of the car the first company he thanked was AP Racing. This is even more significant considering he did not thank his PAYING sponsors until after he thanked the manufacturer’s of a product his race team pays over $30,000 to use. If AP Racing brakes can help Kyle Busch win in such a demanding environment, imagine what AP Racing street kits can do you for your car during the day to day grind.
Here is an excerpt of his victory speech from the Joe Gibbs Racing website:
“We unloaded here this weekend and we were absolutely horrible,” Busch said in his post-race press conference. “We were so bad we didn’t know what was going on. These guys worked their tails off and never gave up. We worked on it and worked on it – made changes to everything – and finally figured it out. I have to thank AP Brakes, MAC Tools, M&M’s, Snickers, Interstate Batteries, NOS Energy Drink and everybody that’s helped us here. For Toyota to win here at their home race, that’s pretty special, too.”
