So, from what you are saying the initital bite has improved. Have you had a chance to do some consecutive higher speed braking to see how the abs reacts and if there is any fade? (Probably won't be, but I'm just curious). Also, I understand you probably would need a little different pads. Once again, very clean install.

the initial bite is definitely a lot better. now i dont have push the brake too hard before i can feel the brakes kicking in, and when i first got the brakes, i forgot about it and couple of times i braked like normal and let's just say that i was lucky the seat belt was on. but i can assure you with the race pads it's just going to be a lot better.
and fade, nop

well i don't really go to track that often, so that's why i didn't get race pads coz' i want it to last longer. after these pads i would see if endless has any replacement. i really wanna try them on.

So I guess this means that your AV3's are setup for big brakes?

the offset is engraved in the back side of the rims next to diameter and width, something like "18JJ 8.5 45" with the offset stamped usually on an embossed chunk of rim

I've just started to get my brakes broken in but I can certainly say these things STOP!! I've tried a couple of 100-0 stops and it just stops-no drama-no noise-just stops right NOW! When the brakes were bled, they felt kind of mushy. There is none of that feeling when stopping on the road. I get none of the vibration or noise from the high speed stops that I had with the stock setup. TM engineering did the install along with a L-sportline suspension. Todd did a great job. He has earned his good reputation with the Clublexus guys

all volks should have a sticker that says the diameter, width, and offset. it should even tell u the date that the rims were manufactured.

And if you get that sticker wet it starts to peel and fall off like a cheap piece of *)*$# it is. What were they thinking?!?
