AP Racing CP5200 Style 4 Piston Brake Kit | 330mm 340mm Lightweight Performance System
This CP5200 style 4 piston brake kit is designed as a lightweight performance upgrade for street and sport driving. Compared with larger 6 piston systems, this setup focuses on balance, weight reduction and cost efficiency while still delivering significantly improved braking performance over OEM systems.
The system is typically paired with 330mm or 340mm brake discs, making it an ideal upgrade solution for vehicles equipped with 17 to 18 inch wheels. This size provides a noticeable increase in braking torque without introducing excessive rotational mass.
The 4 piston fixed caliper design ensures even pressure distribution across the brake pads. Compared to sliding calipers, this structure improves braking stability, reduces uneven wear and delivers more consistent braking force.
CP5200 calipers are widely used in performance street applications due to their compact size and efficient braking characteristics. They are engineered to work with medium-sized discs and provide reliable braking performance under both daily driving and aggressive conditions.
According to AP Racing technical references, the CP5200 family is designed around approximately 330mm class brake discs and has been widely used in performance upgrade kits before being succeeded by newer models. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The caliper body is made from high strength aluminum alloy, providing a strong yet lightweight structure. This reduces unsprung weight and improves suspension response, which is particularly beneficial for handling and steering precision.
The internal piston layout is optimized to deliver progressive braking force. This allows drivers to maintain better control during braking, especially in high-speed or emergency situations.
Thermal performance is enhanced through ventilated disc design and optimized airflow. The system effectively dissipates heat generated during braking, reducing brake fade and maintaining consistent friction levels.
Brake pad compatibility is another advantage of this system. The CP5200 platform supports a wide range of pad compounds, from daily street use to track-oriented materials. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Compared with larger 6 piston brake kits, this system offers easier installation, lower cost and better compatibility with factory wheels. It is especially suitable for compact performance cars, sport sedans and modified street vehicles.
The system can be configured with drilled or slotted rotors depending on user preference. Drilled discs improve heat dissipation, while slotted discs enhance pad bite and debris removal.
Stainless steel brake lines can be added to further improve pedal feel by minimizing expansion under pressure. This results in quicker braking response and more precise control.
Overall, this CP5200 style brake kit provides an excellent balance between performance, weight and cost, making it one of the most practical upgrade solutions for everyday performance driving.
