APB Lightweight Performance Brake Adapter Kit (330mm x 28mm Upgrade)
Elevate your Alfa Romeo’s handling and stopping power with the APB Lightweight Performance Kit. This specialized conversion is engineered for enthusiasts who prioritize agility and precision, moving beyond a simple brake upgrade to a true performance enhancement.
Unlike standard heavy-duty setups, this kit utilizes a 330x28mm rotor configuration. By opting for a 28mm width over the traditional 32mm, you significantly reduce unsprung mass. This reduction allows your suspension to react faster to the road, sharpening turn-in response and noticeably reducing understeer for a more neutral, balanced cornering experience.
Vehicle Compatibility
This kit is designed for the front axle of:
- Alfa Romeo 156 (excl. 3.2 24v GTA)
- Alfa Romeo 147 (excl. 3.2 24v GTA)
- Alfa Romeo GT (excl. 3.2 24v)
- Alfa Romeo GTV (excl. 3.2 24v and 3.0 24v)
- Alfa Romeo Spider (excl. 3.2 24v and 3.0 24v)
Kit Components (Essential Hardware)
- 2x Brake Adapters: CNC machined from high-strength 7075 Aluminum with a resilient hard-anodized natural finish.
- 4x M12 |10.9| Screws: High-tensile fasteners for rock-solid adapter mounting.
- 4x M12 Special Washers: Designed to maintain bolt tension under extreme vibration and track-day heat cycles.
Technical Installation Notes
- Brembo Junior Caliper: This kit is specifically designed for use with the Brembo Junior (4-pot) Caliper (fitted to 305x28mm equiped cars).
- Custom Rotors: Designed for 330x28mm rotors. Please note that rotors are modified in-house by APB (including a PCD change) to ensure a perfect fit for this specific application.
- Direct Bolt-On: Mounts directly to the factory 100mm hub mount with zero modifications required to the vehicle chassis.
- Hardware Re-use: To keep this kit cost-effective, the caliper's original mounting bolts are reused for installation.
Key Performance Benefits
- Reduced Unsprung Weight: Lightens the front end for improved suspension geometry and feedback.
- Superior Handling: Decreases understeer, allowing for higher entry speeds and better mid-corner control.
- Precision Engineering: Custom-tailored rotors and CNC-machined adapters made with pride in Portugal.
Transform your Alfa's driving dynamics with a kit that values lightness as much as it values stopping power.
