Those brakes look so sexy behind those wheels, I cant wait till I get mine. One day...priorities.

Have you noticed a difference with your new brakes Armen?

Hard to tell since I havnt driven the car on a track yet. Not a fan of the provided stoptech pads at all either. It did feel like the rear brakes were working a bit harder when I drove it pretty hard in the canyons.. my front abs wasnt nearly as easy to setoff.

One thing is for sure, I do love how they look. Sucks the clearance is so close with my enkeis.Test fit of my RPF1 & Stoptech BBK-photo99.jpg

Armen, I had 5mm spacers Amazon Primed to me in order to get some clearance in time for a track day. I saw some 3mms with longer shipping times but no 2mm. Tracking some down will be a winter project, as I want as little spacer as possible. Eventually I should try to get 18x10 +38s to work up front for a square setup. Those clear the calipers with miles to spare.

The brakes did great on Summit Main with some XP10s. Actually was probably overkill for my modest hp, but I didnt have to give the brakes a second thought all day, which is how I like it!

I never liked the stoptech sport pads on other cars. They seem to have very little bite and leave deposits in the rotor when they sit. I'll see how this set does in limited street driving and autox.

And yes, they sure are pretty.
