AP Calipers - which reference

[catastrada]

I need to order front brake pads (Pagis RS14).

My car (2003) has the AP racing uprated brakes. The calipers are black with CATERHAM written on them.

Could somone tell me the referece of the calipers I will use to order the pads (mayve even the reference of the pads)?

Hi... not sure if it helps, the reference on mine (supplied 2006 apparently) was CP7605-2S0:CATER 8-CP7600. In the AP catalog the CP7600 relates to one of their own branded calipers so that might be your starting point??

Good luck, John

Thank you John for your info.

 

I found a reference for the calipers : CP2340D43 but I'm not sure if this is the reference for the "old" AP caliper or the lattest ones

The ref you have there Catastrada is for the pads.

 

The caliper part no is in between the mounting holes, according to AP...

OK Mav,

 

To be more precise, the reference I'm after is the one I need to order pads.

Do you know if the one I mentioned is for the pads that fit the "lattest" upratde calipers?

There are two pad widths. The originals supplied by CC are quite a bit narrower than the full disk area. When I bought my Pagid pads from Performance Braking (tel 01600 713117), John suggested that I had the disks skimmed to recover the full disk width (the disk had corroded where the pad had not been in contact) and use a wider pad to get better braking. If they're anything but brand new disks they will need a really good clean anyway (half an hour per side) with Garnet paper to remove all traces of the old pad material, otherwise they won't bed in properly. I had mine skimmed locally for £30.

John is incredibly helpful chap and well worth a call.

 

Pads are awesome by the way
