- The AP Racing Sprint kit is a top notch product and I will be going through the whole install process in this video. The Sprint BBK is very lightweight while also improving braking capability and efficiency for track days and performance driving. This video will cover the AP Racing Sprint kit DIY process following the included instructions. I will also include additional tips and tricks in the howto video.
If you are installing this Sprint kit on a Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, or Toyota 86, please follow the instruction manual. My videos are for reference only and should not be substituted for the included instructions.
Wheel studs & lugs that I show in this video:
► ARP wheels studs 4 pack : amzn.to/2pMahlf
► Muteki black lugnuts : amzn.to/2qHCDB2

*Happy Monday everyone! I will have an informal review of the new AP brakes after my first autocross on them coming soon!*
Justin's Pit Lane Next time you replace callipers or whatever, take a bar or 2x4 or something and press the brake pedall and use it to lock the pedal in place. Doing so will block the liquid in the system. Good luck. Cristian from Romania.
Keep the 86 videos coming!
Damn that caliper and rotor is awesome! AP racing certainly looks the business! Great install!
Thanks! Yep, looks bitchin and also performs the job at a high level.
Are you a professional teacher Justin? If not you should be.. you are a natural trainer.
No, I am not. But I do enjoy teaching and sharing information. Thanks for the nice comments!
You should do a how to on bleeding the calipers as they are a different design than the stock calipers. Also, when you change your current brakes to other brakes a quick video on that? If not the same video for the brake bleeding. Keep up the good work Justin!
I have! Check out this video : th-cam.com/video/JfZUv-GqHew/w-d-xo.html
The bleeding process is the same as stock calipers, you just have 2 calipers sides to bleed on the AP brakes versus 1 on the stock brakes. I think in the AP brakes install video I show how the pads go in, if you are talking about changing pads. Thanks for the comments!
Have you ever tried completely depressing the brake pedal and locking it there before removing the lines? For me it made the leakage almost disappear when the lines where disconnected.
Nope, never heard of that trick. Thanks!
Such a sexy kit!
Indeed, glad I got it!
Chef AP Justin! I Love my yellow series like urs too!
i cant wait to tell us whats the difference in stoping power.
Bought a set of those for my Porsche but I don't know why does it come with springs 🤔
Hi Justin, firstly, thanks so much for making these videos. They are very informative, entertaining, and clearly presented! Question on the brake kit: have you had any issues with caliper clearance with your wheels and the AP kit? Also, do you know how much the AP calipers differ in size with the Brembo kits that come standard in the performance package? Thanks!
Sure thing, glad you enjoy the videos! AP Racing has a list of wheels that will clear the Sprint brake kit. I am not sure what the size difference is between the Brembo PP brakes. The AP brakes are superior though in a number of ways.

AP Racing Sprint kit has 299x32mm rotors, PP Brembos are 326x30mm.
When you install a big brake kit on the front , do you need to pair it with a rear version of the exact BBK? Most stores I have looked at mainly have the front bbk kits but don’t have the rear versions?
The AP Racing Sprint kit, like this one, is meant to be installed with OEM rear brakes. A lot of them are designed like that. But, you can get matching sets for the rear of course.
You'd be put in the naughty boy's corner, for hammering a ratchet in my Garage, but hey some time's for filming purpose's thing have to be done and i do like how you film :-)
Good install video. Your hatred for brake fluid is hilarious. Were u experiencing brake fade at the events? Kinda curious why you need them over stock.
Thanks! Yes, I have a strong distaste for brake fluid :)
No brake fade at autocross. The primary benefit for autocross is reducing un-sprung weight by 10lbs per corner. For track events, these would be a huge upgrade over stock. Mostly so the brakes keep performing lap after lap without fading or over-heating fluids.
I just got my brake done. There r some noise every time I am diving by a small crack surface. Something like suspension impact with top struct tower mounting point. Is it because I remove the brake shield plate and the noise just transfer into chassis? I am still on OEM suspension
No braking when the noise happens?
@@TheBTRGarage yes, just some uneven surface road like small crack or bridge.
Can you show a picture with the stock wheels and what brand /where did you get spacers from? Just want to make sure it will clear with a 10mm spacer
It clears but just barely, I never run the stock wheels so do not have any pictures. If you go to AP Racing website it says what spacer you need with stock wheels.
Justin, is it possible to remove the caliper with the brake pads and the rotor all assembled as one unit? I need to change out the wheel studs but not the brake pads or anything? Would it work to just remove the caliper bolts but leave everything else attached?? Thanks.
That would be pretty tricky I think to keep everything together. It is super simple to remove the pads/calipers by themselves.
@@TheBTRGarage Ok I just didn't want to mess with pulling the pads out then having to compress the calipers to get the pads back in over the rotor again. But, i'll power through it. thanks again for the informative videos, gonna miss the BRZ ones.
Quick question, you mentioned this was front BBK do you have a rear one also and if so what Brand? do you NEED a rear BBK?
The rear brakes are all stock except pads. You don't really need it on these cars since they are so light. In fact, the AP Racing Sprint kit is designed to work in concert with OEM rear brakes 👍
BTR Justin Just the answer I was looking for, thanks a bunch man 👍👍👍
Ik this video is old but what offset range do you need to clear these brakes?
Depends on the wheel. On the AP Racing website they have a list of compatible wheels for the kit.
Imagine if i'm washing rotors in the kitchen and suddenly my wife arrives ... i'm gonna tell here how delicious is rotters egg cheese dish :D .
Any brake squeal? I have the same setup and same hawk hps pads and they squeal so much. not initially but now like 6 months later a lot of brake noise on one side i think because it has no shim.
Yep, I had ear piercing brake squeaking with the Hawk HPS. I even bought a 2nd set and they were quiet for a little while, then it started up again, although it was not constant.
I picked up a set of Ferodo DS2500 most recently and they are better from a squeaky stand point.
Justin - how much better are these than Brembos?
They are a bit better. Lighter, smaller, SS pistons, no dust boots to melt, anodized vs painted, thicker and cheaper pads, more cooling vanes in rotors...there is a thread on ft86club that goes over all the details if you search for it.
@@TheBTRGarage thanks for the reply
How do you keep your inner fenders so clean?
Nothing special really, I don't drive it in snow or bad rain, if I can avoid it. The car is also pretty new still.
Matt Jones he never drives it 😂
Justin, been following you on the brz. planing to get the 2017 brz in canada. i have 2 kids 5 and 3. how do your kids fit in the back of the brz? do you even drive them in the back of the brz?
It is a tight fit, especially on the driver side. You have to move the seats pretty far up and at 6' tall, with my 8 year old daughter behind me, I have very little room to drive. I would not want to drive it regularly with kids, personally. It is just too small. We have 2 other vehicles for family stuff.
well.... i got the 2017 brz blue today... GOTTA ENJOY IT. i drop off pick up the kids within 5 min distance from my house to school. the it's my dd to my work. i have a rav4 for winter. so hopefully it won't be too bad to live with.
Does these fit with WedsSport TC105N 17x9 +35 ???
+Eduardo B. Lpz Yep, they sure do! Essex has a wheel fitment list on their page for the Sprint kit.
Justin's Pit Lane Great, thanks! 😁
Can you use brake fluid cleaner instead.
Yes, you probably could. But the AP Racing instructions actually said to wash them in the sink with soap and water.
Holy Crap! That is a nasty cut from loosening a caliper! I will def be extra careful next time i do my brakes.
That was from working on my Miata some years back. It was not from this particular job.
My hand slipped when changing the rear shocks and it went over the rear brake heat shield. Yea, nice laceration :D Hence why I mentioned to be careful around heat shields because they bite back sometimes.
Ah thanks for explaining...
Btw, i noticed that you just dropped the brake pads into the caliper for these AP brakes... does that mean the pads are in constant contact with the rotors? What is pushing the pads away from the rotors?
The pads have a "neutral" state where they are not touching the rotor. The calipers also have an anti-knockback feature. You can read up on the details on the AP Racing site for the system: www.essexparts.com/essex-designed-ap-racing-competition-brake-kit-front-cp8350299brzfrsgt86
hi. what about the longer wheel studs and nuts? are they light weight? and what about the weight difference between them and the old ones?
The Muteki lugs are noted as lightweight. Not sure on the ARP studs vs stock. We are talking ounces difference at this point though so I do not worry about it too much.
Justin's Pit Lane yeah it is not a big deal since the weight is so centered too.
I added links to the products in the description, in case you want to find out :)
Justin's Pit Lane thanks mate, keep up the clean and neat work.
Sure, thank you for watching!
all dat fancy footwork for a slow car.
Wait what happened to break cleaner? :D
Marius i had the same thought :D
To clean the rotors? Probably would have been fine. The AP instructions say to do it the way I did it, plus it made a better intro that way :P
Justin's Pit Lane Haha true, cant wait to see what mods come next!
Got a few things in the pipeline and a couple that need to be edited still, but the car is almost "done", for the purpose I use it for. Can only do so much to stay within class racing rules.
Will you loose the abs.?
No, everything works as normal. Just changing hardware.
Hey can you tell me what wheels spec did you have with this bbk
boutthatboost Enkei RPF1 17x9 35mm offset.
Justin's Pit Lane I have rpf1 17x7 +45. Do you think they will fit?
+boutthatboost +45 won't fit, at least on a 9" wheel. Not sure about the 7.
Here is the list of Enkei RPF1's that fit, per the AP / Essex website. They have a cutout that you can make to test wheel fitment too. www.essexparts.com/essex-designed-ap-racing-competition-brake-kit-front-cp8350299brzfrsgt86
Enkei RPF1 17x7.5 +48Enkei RPF1 17x8 +35Enkei RPF1 17x8 +42Enkei RPF1 17x8 45Enkei RPF1 (very tight fit, but works) 17x9 +35Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +38
Justin's Pit Lane thanks alot man
I'm sorry but that looks like baseball stitchings.. lol
Make a pizza with it
😂😂😂
