Painted the hub assembly with engine enamel as these things tend to rust easily. I hate rust!



I always use this CRC disc brake quiet whenever I'm doing brake jobs.





Driver's side RB/FIGS 2-piece rotor is installed.

Stowed the brake sensor/wire as the RB pads don't have provisions for the sensor. I used some nomex string tie instead of the 'heavier' plastic ties

We have the only bi-metal rear hat that retains the parking brake and allows the rest of the hat to be aluminum. We also have ring options to favor weight or performance (increased thickness for heavy track use) just putting that out there.

Not tracking the car but trying to reduce as much rotational mass as possible but want stock functionality/drivability. Thanks

They sent me 910 front pads and ET500 rear pads. After bedding them in, following their instructions, I drove around last night like a maniac on PCP, and love these brakes. Definitely, IMO, better than stock. A lot less dust, quiet, I mean QUIET as in no noise at all, not even that squeal I got with the stock ones under light braking.

Jealous! Like the front spoiler, sides, and diffuser for that kit. The tail spoiler is a little too subtle for me, though...going with the varis long tail.

Are you ordering a set? This set may be the first in U.S.?
