Suitable for the following models:Elise Mk1, Exige Mk1, 340R, Elise Mk2 Rover, Mk2 Toyota, and Mk3 + Exige Mk2 + 211.The latest AP Racing anti-rattle plate for AP twin-pot calipers features an improved design, with an enlarged locating groove for the retaining pins. This enhancement provides a more secure hold, ensuring better alignment and improved centralization of the spring.These original equipment springs are specifically designed to reduce brake pad rattle and eliminate the "clonking" noise often heard when the vehicle moves forward at low speeds.Earlier versions had a tendency to slip, resulting in less effective pad retention.Each caliper kit includes:2 x New brake pad retaining pins1 x Anti-rattle plate2 x R-clipsNote: Two kits are required per car, 1x set for 1x caliper!
This comprehensive kit contains everything needed to fully refurbish the 2-pot front AP brake calipers.The kit includes:2 x AP pistons4 x Piston seals1 x New bleed valve2 x Pad retaining pins1 x Anti-rattle spring plate2 x R-clips4 x Anti-rattle brake pad buffersThe accompanying picture illustrates the location of these components.Optional: The crossover pipes shown in the image are available separately.Additional Notes:The kit for the MK1 Elise is slightly more expensive as it includes specially machined pistons with an integrated anti-knock-off spring. This feature is highlighted in the related products below.Later S2 calipers do not require this anti-knock-off function.Compatibility:S1 Kit: Fits MK1 Elise, Exige, and 340R.S2 Kit: Suitable for all S2 models, including the S2 Exige and Europa.Please note: One complete kit is required for each caliper.
Suitable for the following models:Elise Mk1, Exige Mk1, 340R, Elise Mk2 Rover, Mk2 Toyota, and Mk3 + Exige Mk2 + 211.Note: 1x set = both calipers (pins and springs)
Original Lotus „Fast Road brake-kit“fits for Elise and Exige with 4Zyl.-Toyota-Powertrain (for Rover-Powertrain depents on matching wheel-sizes).
The kit harmonises perfectly with the sporty character of the Elise and has already been used successfully in series production by Lotus in some special models or in the Exige S with performance package. By using the larger brake discs and calipers, the brakes can be better dosed, the braking effect is improved and the temperature remains in a more stable range.
The kit consists of two one-piece perforated brake discs (308 mm diameter), as well as a pair of AP-Racing 4-piston calipers incl. screws, matching brake pads front and rear and braided-steel brake-pipes!

Lotus 2pcs Sport brake discs
The original Lotus standard brake disc is made in one-piece and has only one direction of rotation, which on the one side is suboptimal for the cooling performance. The new 2-part variant now differentiates between a left and a right disc and, due to the use of an aluminum pot with a screwed-on friction ring, is considerably lighter than the one-part derivative (1-part = 5.5kg; 2-part = 4.5kg per disc)! The dimension with 288mm diameter remains the same.
We deliver 2 discs or 1 axle.
The set is suitable for all Elise Mk2, Mk3, Exige Mk2 and 2-Eleven for front and rear (front not suitable for vehicles with AP 4-piston brake caliper!).
As a replacement for the original brake disc with alloy brake pot from the "AP Sport Brake Kit" installed on cup 240.255 and 260 Exige, as well as for retrofitting on all other Lotus Elise and Lotus Exige models from 2004 with this brake system.The brake disk is a product of "PFC Performance Friction" and replaced 1:1, the original disc.Dimensions: 308 mm x 25 mmThe brake caliper shown is not included !Price per pair.Motorsportpart - Track use only - NO street use StVO/StVZO!
