Complete rear brake kit engineered for extended track sessions. Saves ~15 unsprung lbs versus OEM while retaining full electronic parking brake functionality.
Rear Axle Upgrade
Complete the Package With a Purpose-Built Rear Kit
The OEM Dark Horse and GT Performance Pack rear brakes were designed for street driving compromises. On track, they overheat, fade, and hold back the potential of your front brake upgrade.
The AP Racing by Essex CP9451 rear kit saves approximately 15 lbs of unsprung weight versus OEM while delivering consistent, fade-free stopping power through extended track sessions. Every component is rated for sustained high-temperature operation.
Designed to pair with the AP Racing by Essex CP9668/390mm front kit for a balanced, championship-proven brake system front to rear.
