Reporting back after another trackday on these calipers...matched with the proper pads, they performed like a dream. This trackday was on a high speed track with a few hard braking zones. I was confident in the consistent stopping power these provided.
IMG_7554 by dj_dub, on Flickr 4013_4K by dj_dub, on Flickr I ran Carbotech XP20 track dedicated pads in the front and StopTech Street Performance pads in the rears. I'm running StopTech Street Performance pads on the street for front and rears and IMO, they are way better than the Hawk pads provided when matched with these calipers. I agree with Marty in regards to Albert. You can buy with confidence from him and he always lives up to his end of the bargain whether he's slightly late or not. I've been talking to him about pads with this setup for awhile now before I settled on my pads of choice. He's been very helpful to me and I'm very thankful for that. With that being said, changing pads on these calipers is a damn breeze. Literally took me 5-7mins a wheel. Here's the fronts after the last session with the track dedicated pads...lookin proper: IMG_7610 by dj_dub, on Flickr The rears after the last session on the combo street/light track pads: IMG_7575 by dj_dub, on Flickr I couldn't be happier with my decision to pick these up and are definitely worth the price for what you get.

I was looking at the stoptech trophies to purchase but these seem as a great alternative price wise.. do these brakes have better stopping power vs stop techs?
Also would these calipers give me the same clearance as the 380 kit? Bc those won't clear my wheels..

These fit under 18 inch wheels like apex arc8's so you can run much better tyres and have a much wider choice and cheaper selection and increase corner grip
The trophies are great if you have money to burn This setup you can run any rotor and any pad of your choice from any manufacturer as the fronts are Audi R8 callipers and the rear are Porsche |

View post on imgur.com Kit arrived yesterday. The amount of care in the packaging was far better than i expected compred to previous international shipments. I wont be able to install them until my brake fluid comes in, but make sure to keep posted. I took a closeup of one of the calipers not in good of condition as the rest(they all are good). Even though the slight corrosion this is a refurbished kit that is suppose to be mechanically perfect. More pics to come Will get to reviewing and testing next week.
