Thank you for your clear & helpful explanation, Jeff. Something to look forward to when it comes time for replacement! Meanwhile, I'll continue enjoying the original Essex-supplied kit. We appreciate your involvement w/ this forum!

FWIW, even my OEM Brembo brakes eventually develop some mild surface corrosion/rust and I live in Texas, lol. Centric sells replacement hardware kits for like $20/axle so I usually just replace after a year or whatever. I figure that the constant brake pad changes at the track are probably fatiguing the hardware anyway so it's cheap insurance.
