http://www.alconusa.com/client_images/files/92_1177.pdf Alcon claims the assembly is lighter than stock. at 384x34mm front disc and 370x30mm rear disk specs, these are monsters Looks like they will clear stock 220 style rims. Good luch with 18s |

So how does open hat and closed hat design compare to wear/tear for the street. I mean with all the salt, dirt and water in theory, closed hat design should be better for longevity no?

Yup. When I had my Alcons, I ran both a set of 18" Volk TE37SL and 18" Advan TCIII. The TCIII had a bit more clearance.
Congrats on the Alcon kit. I loved them, and combined with the Pagid RS29, you'll never run out of brakes. |

I couldn't believe that I can get this kit much under $7k shipped to me, so I took it, as it is. I consider to order second kit, and keep as replacement. |

Superkit caliper doesn't clear any of OEM 18" wheels I afraid. I e-mailed JDL-brakes, and they said, only 19" OEM wheels, and maybe some aftermarket 18"

Friend of mine, thinks to order Alcon too, and I thought if there is any other interested buyer, he can get couple of hundreds cheaper if two sets are ordered at one time. There are probably last days of sale http://www.jdl-brakes.com/alcon-supe...mw-m3-e92.html

I couldn't resist and I ordered Pagid RS29 pads to my Alcon Superkit. To be honest so far, I see no difference between yellow Pagids, and standard pads from Superkit ( RS9-2 right ??? ) Maybe I will see difference on track, but so far, I think standard pads worked even better when were cold.

You are right. They perform very well on track, but I think after couple of week of use, also much better on street.

I had Brembo GT 380mm all around, and now I have Alcon 355mm all around (Alcon Advantage Extreme).
For the Brembos I was running the Brembo pads that came with the set, and was on ZCP wheels with 245/265 PSS. For the Alcon I am running Ferodo DS2500, and am on Rays RE30 Clubsport, 18x9.5/18x11; 265/285 PSS. The Brembo had very linear braking power. Felt like the kit was well made and matched the car very well. Perhaps the pads were good for the street, but upon spirited driving the car didn't stop as well after 10-15 min. The Alcon, once warmed up, had a more aggressive bite than Brembo. It's not as aggressive as AP, so it's in between Brembo and AP, which is perfect. You can run it harder than the Brembos and they don't feel that they will fade as quickly. I believe it's down to the pad you use and the brand you like. I've had pleasant experience with both brands.
