Ko-Bra Race ABS / ESP Motorsport and safety feature at the same time: Our newly developed Ko-Bra Race ABS and ESP! The 1st available motorsport ABS / ESP on the market especially developed for the Elise with ZR-Powertrain and extensively tested. Our many years of experience in motorsport, the knowledge of the Elise Range itself and the feedback from our customers have made it possible for us to work and point out the essential points for development and optimization. The result is a plug'n'play solution that is just as suitable for everyday sporting use as it is for ambitious use on the track! The existing Lotus-DPM functions of the driving modes (Tour, Race and OFF) could be integrated and expanded. So if you make the effort to use the system right, you will definitely be faster and safer!
ABS: In the future, the limiting factor for you will (almost) be the choice of tires only! Typical racing deceleration forces of over 2g are possible now! Even when braking deep into the curve, the typical understeering of the standard brake is eliminated and enables precise steering through an optimal ratio between the maximum possible braking and lateral force control. The so-called ice mode (“hard brake pedal”) is prevented.
ESP: An ESP works through selective brake intervention and regulation of the engine torque. The lower torque in particular causes a considerable interruption in power. Thanks to our adapted regulation, you control the torque by the accelerator pedal only. The control allows higher drift angles and also power slides. Twists are still effectively prevented and corrected more gently. It is still possible to switch off the ESP completely - but it is no longer necessary for a hot lap time as overcompensating brake interventions no longer take place. It should also be mentioned that we were able to improve the already known overregulation of the ESP (especially in the Cup models), which already likes to regulate on motorway exits and can be used in Sport-Mode only. After the optimization, the ESP regulates much finer and is definitely beneficial to the driving dynamics even in Tour-Mode.
TC: The traction control is also no longer activated in our software in order to achieve better traction and full access to the engine torque.
Data recording: All variables relevant to driving dynamics are made available via CAN bus and can be recorded via CAN logger (not included in the offer).
Our System be used for: Elise 1.6, Elise S (ab MY11), Elise Sport/Sprint 140, Elise Sport/Sprint 220, Elise Cup 220 und 250, Elise 240/250 Final Edition
LOTUS CUP APPROVED: From Season 2021 onwards our ABS is also tested and approved for Lotus CUP Series (Exige V6)!

For optimal braking performance and minimal wear on the braking system, effective cooling of the discs and pads is crucial. However, the Elise does not come with active cooling for these components as standard, which can lead to overheating during spirited street driving. In such cases, the brake quickly loses its optimal pressure point and significant performance ("soft brake pedal"), resulting in unnecessary rapid wear and tear (burning brake pads, disc fading).The Brake Cooling Kit provides a sustainable solution to this issue. It ensures reliable and active cooling of the front axle brakes, allowing them to operate consistently within the optimal temperature range. This minimizes the risk of a "soft" brake pedal due to overheating, while significantly extending the lifespan of the braking system (reducing wear).The kit is meticulously designed using CAD and precisely manufactured on 3D printers. It can be easily installed (even by non-technical individuals) without further vehicle modifications. Primarily intended for Elise S3 models predominantly used on the road but occasionally taken to track days.Benefits and Advantages:Maintains an optimal temperature range for the front axle braking systemPreserves a long-lasting and consistently high braking performance, even during spirited drivingExtends the lifespan of discs and pads by reducing thermally induced wearHighly cost-effective solution that nearly doubles the lifespan of the braking system compared to the OEM setupNo restrictions for street use, yet always track-readyNo adverse effects on vehicle aerodynamicsPrecision-engineered and easily installable without further modifications (Plug & Play)Product Details:Ultra-lightweight system, manufactured using innovative 3D printing technologyPlug & Play - easy to install and completely reversible at any timeCompatible with:Elise S2Elise S3

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.

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!
