Product Description

The AP Racing CP9449 Pro 5000R Rear Brake Kit (355x32mm) for the BMW F8X platform has been developed to complement high-performance front brake systems and deliver improved rear braking balance, heat capacity and braking consistency for fast road, track day and motorsport applications. Designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade, the system provides a substantial increase in thermal management and durability over the factory rear braking setup.

Using large 355x32mm two-piece rear discs, lightweight aluminium bells and precision-engineered mounting brackets, the system improves rear braking stability and heat dissipation during repeated heavy braking. The increased rotor size improves thermal capacity during prolonged high-temperature use, helping maintain consistent braking performance throughout demanding track sessions.

Customers can choose between genuine AP Racing discs/rotors or a more cost-effective aftermarket two-piece disc/rotor option. At Clubsport Garage we have extensively tested the aftermarket rotor assemblies on our own F87 M2 Competition track car with excellent results in terms of performance, durability and consistency. Several customers previously running AP Racing rotor assemblies have also moved to the aftermarket setup and reported similarly positive results, making them a compelling option for customers looking to reduce long-term running costs without compromising braking performance.

AP Racing Pro 5000R calipers do not utilise dust seals. This motorsport-focused design allows reliable operation at significantly higher temperatures than conventional road calipers. Vehicles used regularly on the road may require more frequent inspection and cleaning, particularly during harsh weather conditions.

An optional anti-rattle pad retention spring kit is available separately for customers wanting to minimise brake pad movement and reduce unwanted noise during everyday driving.

Designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade, the kit mounts to the factory rear uprights using supplied brackets and hardware while delivering genuine motorsport braking performance with excellent fitment and reliability.

FAQs

What is the difference between AP Racing and aftermarket disc options?
Both options provide excellent braking performance. The aftermarket disc assemblies have been extensively tested and provide a more cost-effective solution with reduced long-term running costs. Genuine AP Racing discs remain available for customers wanting an OEM AP Racing friction ring setup.

Do the calipers have dust seals?
No. These are motorsport-grade calipers designed for high-temperature track use and therefore do not utilise dust seals. This improves heat tolerance but may require more regular inspection and cleaning when used on road vehicles.

What disc patterns are available?
The discs are available in Grooved or J-Hook designs, allowing customers to choose their preferred braking characteristics.

Are the discs supplied assembled?
Yes. The disc assemblies are supplied fully assembled with bells and mounting hardware already installed, simplifying installation.

Are brake pads included?
No. Brake pads are supplied separately so you can choose the compound best suited to your driving style, with options available from Pagid, Endless, PFC and Ferodo.

Are these calipers suitable for road use?
Yes, however the Pro 5000R calipers do not utilise dust seals and may require more regular inspection and cleaning than standard road brake systems.

Is this suitable for track use?
Yes. This system has been designed specifically for repeated heavy braking and prolonged high-temperature operation.
