Iron Disc Benefits
So what can AP Racing J Hook iron discs do for a car previously equipped with carbon ceramic discs?
Increased airflow and slower heat transfer to other brake components- AP Racing J Hook discs have a unique, high-count vane design that promotes airflow, heat evacuation, and rapid cooling. They don't rely on a large surface area to cool via radiation. The iron discs will move more air than your carbon ceramic's, and as a result they won't heat your brake pads, caliper pistons, and brake fluid up as quickly. You'll be able to run longer sessions without brake fade, and you'll enjoy the confidence that comes along with them. They'll also make any brake ducts that you have on the car more effective and useful.
Huge range of compatible brake pad compounds- Iron discs will open up a much greater range of available brake pads. You'll be able to achieve a different feel, and tailor your brake setup depending on your needs and environment, whether that is running an AutoX or the most demanding racetrack in your area. You'll also likely be paying less per brake pad set than you were previously, and your pads will last longer.
Inexpensive spare discs- You'll no longer have to spend thousands of dollars when it's time to replace your discs. AP Racing J Hook's typically only cost $400-600 per iron disc ring, so you won't have to stress about anything happening to them. They're inexpensive enough that you can always keep a spare set on hand, so you won't have to worry about any brake-related downtime when you're out at the track.
Durability- Iron discs can take a beating. You can stash your spares in your race trailer, and you won't have to worry about handling them, covering them, dinging them, or chipping them when changing your wheels.
As you can see, although iron discs do come with a slight weight penalty, they're still the smart choice if you run your car hard on the racetrack. They're the obvious solution that has been proven countless times on tracks around the world, at all levels of motorsport.
Among iron disc choices, there are none better than AP Racing J Hooks. AP Racing J Hook Discs are the epitome of endurance racing components. They will hold up extremely well to any abuse you plan to throw at them. These discs have been proven time and again in professional racing, winning many races and championships (SRO, IMSA, WEC, Rolex, etc.).
Two-piece Floating Design with Aluminum Hat
As is the case with most metal, iron brake discs grow substantially when heated. As it is heated, a disc expands radially, increasing in diameter and circumference. One-piece disc designs run into problems when this occurs. Look at the picture below and imagine the disc is being heated on the track. As the disc expands, the outer edges of the disc are pulling away from the center of the disc, but there are no built-in provisions to allow for that expansion. The edges of the disc therefore pull, lift, and distort, which is called coning. Now imagine that disc vertical on the car, running in your caliper. Coning directly impacts the brake pads’ contact with the disc, leading to uneven wear and tapering, and even a long brake pedal.
Two-piece discs on the other hand, compensate for the expansion of the disc as it heats. This is accomplished by building ‘float’ into either the disc itself, or the disc hat/bell. In this case, the float is in the disc. If you look closely at the picture below, you can see that the mounting holes for the hat attachment bobbins are not round. They are an oblong shape. These channels allow the hat mounting hardware to slide as the disc is heated and expands, allowing the disc to run true in the caliper without distortion. That means less distortion, stress cracks, and pad taper.

ABOUT LIQUID-FILLED PRESSURE GAUGES
All liquid filled gauges are filled to 80%. The remaining air pocket allows for thermal expansion and contraction as ambient temperature changes, thereby maintaining accuracy. If the gauge were filled to 100% even the slightest temperature change would significantly affect gauge readings as the expanding fluid would have no place to go. To maintain accuracy over a wide temperature range, Longacre gauges have a special Vent Valve on top of the dial. A quick 1/4-turn of the knob equalizes internal and external pressure, guaranteeing you the highest accuracy and repeatability possible.

The Sabelt LASER TG-3 mechanic gloves were engineered specifically for professional pit crews working in high-pressure racing environments. Designed for tire changers and pit lane mechanics, these FIA 8856-2018 certified flame-retardant gloves provide outstanding protection, grip, and durability while handling wheels, tools, and wheel guns during rapid pit stops.
Built for Professional Pit Crew Performance
During a pit stop, every second matters. The LASER TG-3 gloves are built with thin leather reinforcement patches on the palm and fingertips, delivering a durable, high-traction grip when handling tires, tools, and equipment. Whether you're grabbing a hot wheel rim or controlling a powerful wheel gun, these gloves provide the control and reliability needed for professional motorsport pit operations.
Strategic padding covered with high-grip material is positioned between the thumb and index finger to absorb impact when operating pneumatic wheel guns. Additional protective padding on the back of the hand shields knuckles and the base of the thumb when grabbing wheel spokes or maneuvering heavy wheels during fast tire changes.
A wide adjustable wrist strap wraps securely around the wrist to provide additional support and stability when lifting or handling wheels. This added reinforcement helps reduce strain during repetitive pit stop tasks.
Although FIA 8856-2018 approved for flame resistance, the additional padding and protective features make the LASER TG-3 gloves specifically suited for mechanics and pit crew members rather than for driving.
