Angry Ass | 355X32 6 Piston Front Brake System | Competition
Our 355X32 6 Piston Front Brake System | Competition is designed for customers who want a competition ready front brake system, which also fits under 17” wheels. This system uses AP Racing CP9660 Radi-Cal 6 piston calipers and 355X32 72 vane J-hook friction discs which are the same caliper and disc type combo found in big brake kits offered for the most modern and advanced vehicles, from F80 M3s to GT3s. If you have any questions or need any help with assembling your system please get in touch.
NOTE: Kits are assembled upon order which can add 5-10 days to your order, if longer we will update you by email.
ATTENTION: Installation requires removal of the front dust shields, which is only possible via cutting or removal of the front bearing, which then necessitates a replacement bearing!
