7th trackday with this setup...this time at Autoclub Speedway in Southern California last Saturday. High speed, hard late braking track. Performed great as per usual!

Could I please get a definitive answer on whether or not the new version pads actually cover 100% of the brake disk? If the previous issues have been resolved, I might reconsider this.

new version pads actually cover 99%. All of our customers are using this ver 2 upgrade.
but for the issues and cover of the disc some users would have to comment to have it as independent opinion |

Thanks albert. I might give these a try as well. Those 8 pots look gorgeous.
It would also be awesome if you can do a DIY on replacing the pads, so people know what to expect with this kit...to avoid people like me asking probably obvious questions by this point Btw would anyone recommend getting new rotors with the kit, or work with the ones already on the car if they're still good?

Oh I hear you on that. That's why I waited after its initial release to get feedback, improvements, and most importantly, time. I feel if it can survive multiple track sessions, then it will be fine for someone like me who unashamedly baby the car.

Changing the front pads is straight forward: knock the pins out, push the pistons back a bit, pull the pads out, slide the new pads in, put the pins back in with the pad retaining clips and you're done. Literally 5-10mins of your time per side. The rears are pretty much the same process but you'll need to modify the pads sightly where the pins go through to make them fit properly. Maybe an additional 30mins taking your sweet ass time. Wish I had time to make a DIY for everyone, but I don't currently. Hopefully, that will change in the near future. Since you're the occasional track goer, I wouldn't worry one bit. Buy with confidence! Here's a pic from yesterday's trackday. 4TR_4771 by dj_dub, on Flickr

Not sure why people hate on this kit without having experience with it. It is far more than you need for the street and as you(and I) have shown, it handles track use well. A "real" bbk runs about 1/6 the price of this car and doesn't make sense for many people. By far the best brake upgrade for the hard street/occasional track driver. |
