Gents,
We just launched the AP Racing by Essex 'Everything's in the Box' Brake Kit Event!

Bedding-in your brakes can make a tremendous improvement to your overall noise level. Once you lay down a layer of pad material, it will typically quiet them down for a period of time.
Below are several videos that explain the technology behind our brake products. Hopefully you find these both entertaining and educational. Please let us know what questions you have.
