APP brakes RHDJapan

Hello everyone

RHDjapan hooked me up with the APP 6pot 355x32 brake setup. A special request from me, and custom made from APP and all through RHDjapan.

Apart from the great titanium looks this setup is also very aggresive. Great stopping abilities. If you need something that will stick you to the floor thats the setup you should be getting

Thank you RHDjapan for locating this part.

Any comments are welcome

Congratulations: The 1st FD3S in the world with the APP Brake Kit!!

Yes, this is the first FD3S in the world with an APP Brake upgrade kit for the FD3S!! Costas has been a long time customer and he came to us looking to see what type of quality brake kits were available for his highly precious and one of the last manufacturered FD's, his baby Dirty Diana (j/k). Being a particular customer we discussed a couple different possibilities including the usual suspects, Project Mx, AP Racxxx, Brembx and Endlxx. After discussing the standard induscty top-rankers the newly released and most beautiful to look at APP kits also came up. With their visual appeal, performance base and unique factor the APP kit stared to become the favorite. Although we had a base price on the other kits from APP the FD3S was not in the lineup. After making a call to our sales rep and discussing with them that them the fact that the FD is still too great of a machine in order to not include in their lineup I hung up the phone with a positive message for Costas. APP had the blueprints for the FD3S and had intended to make it available at later date.

After making one last confirmation on price and that the 6-pot Rotor 355mm rotor layout was enough to safely stop his baby, Dirty Diana after a rough and semi-violent night the order was confirmed and APP came through in just a couple weeks. And that is the story of the first FD3S in the world with the APP Brake Kit!!

Not to take away from your pictures but here are some additional pictures of this one-of-a-kind kit:

$4200, which is some serious serious coin. You definitely get what you pay for and the engineering/construction is outstanding.

HOLY S**T C!
That's some serious kit you got there.
Patrick and Russell @ Rhdjapan are awesome,
they hooked me up with my bodykit from Japan and weren't even stocking it,they just made a call on my behalf and shipped it to me and they also hooked me up with other parts I couldn't get my hands on for my FD,even today they are sourcing parts for me that I can't get!
No doubt when I scrape the cash together i'll get my brake kit from them.
Truly great sellers!
Nice 1 C!

Beautiful brakes Costas!!! One of a kind indeed. So are you coming in Cyprus in December? I want to see them in person. Do they make them for the fc? I was thinking to get the endless six pot but these look amazing.

APP does not currently have the set available for the FC3S however they did not originally have them for the FD3S either. If you would like us to make an inquiry for you with APP we will be more than happy to inquire for you.

Cyprus seems like a pretty sweet place to live. Especially with an FD to cruise around in!
