We will see how it goes.
Concerns about AP Rotor quality? Not sure what that's about.......The metallurgy and structure of AP's rotors has always been regarded as one of their greatest strengths. I have personally pounded on two different AP kits for 8 years/150+ track days and never had rotor issues.

On my Essex AP kit, I do have one front pad that seems to wear faster than the others. I'm probably about due for a rebuild on the calipers, so I'll have Essex check it out. As far as support, Essex is excellent in that regard. Who is going to do tech support and service the Alcon stuff?
