Up....

We are planning on testing three cars at VIR next weekend with our brake package, each with different rear brake setups. Stay tuned for the results. If all goes well we will open the GB!

A year from now I'll deffinitely be interested in this. Sweet *** kit just like everything else you sell.

Is the street kit far off? Is this more like a once only GB or you plan to stock/build to order?

I'd like to know more about the street kit as well, I was planning on getting some slotted rotors and new pads for the summer but I might upgrade everything..

+1 for a street kit, currently looking at Wilwood, Stoptech, Brembo, etc...

As soon as we officially release the track kit I can provide more details on our street kit. What I can say is that it will use large monoblock calipers (not made by ap though), will be available with an upcoming rear setup, will be priced much lower than our track setup, and will do well with mild track use and aggressive street/backroads/autox use.

A shot of the brakes on Jhnrx7's car and my car at VIR. Unfortunately we were unable to test





I'm going to take the hats and brackets to get hard anodized after the holiday weekend.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to bail out of this. I'm sure I'll regret it later, but I'm putting the RX-7 on the back burner & starting a new project.

I cant wait for these!

The hats and brackets are going to be hard anodized early next week, they only do hard anodizing once every 7 to 10 days. we'll be PMing everyone on the interest list once we open the GB in a few days

Just wanted to add that I looked the kit over when I was at VIR with John and Dan and it's a nicely engineered setup (beefy thick pads and rotors along with beautifully machined hats and brackets) with nothing but improvements over every other off the shelf kit available for this car. The only reason I did not test them is because of pad size. I wanted a pad that completely covered the rotor surface.

Endless and I think Hawk also make the correct pad shape and I'm in contact with PFC to see if they have or can make the right pad.

As a side note this exact kit is on a friends STI (heavy car) that laps VIR in the 2.12 range (not too shabby) and after several weekends of use the rotors showed very little wear and over the years with various kits I've had endless problems with rotors cracking etc... so I'm looking forward to the improved durability this kit should provide.

There is a short annulus and tall annulus version of the pad. Endless makes both versions. RCP105 is the tall RD version, and RCP142 is the short RD version.

Hawk and Ferodo do make the tall annulus version. Not sure about PFC.

gogogo guys, I have some hard earned money waiting for you

Everything is back from hard anodizing and our brake lines finally arrived from our manufacturer... Dan's doing some product shots this weekend and we'll try to get the GB thread up shortly.

Thanks for your interest and support in our development process! Without you all we wouldn't exist.

In other news our fire extinguisher mount prototype should be done in the next couple weeks as well, so we've got some fun track parts on the way (and a few others coming down the pike as well).

Put me on the list. I've been looking for a good big brake kit and this seems like it'll exceed all my expectations.

Any word on piston sizes so we can see how these will pan out for those of us on r comps or slicks?

Rear upgrade info?

GoodfellaFD3S

iTrader: (213)

Man oh man I can't wait to install these suckers

Piston sizes average ~40mm (39/41mm with 1mm differential bore size between front and rear to reduce pad taper). These brakes work great with the stock rears, however our upcoming oversized rear kit will further increase stopping power, and decrease rear brake temps (with the caveat that tire type and pad type will obviously affect this bias balance, which will affect min braking distances).

We're still a couple months out on the rears.

In a few days we'll have the official GB up for the AP competition fronts. We just got our hats and caliper brackets back from hard anodizing, so we're nearly ready to roll.

-Heath

PS for fun here's a similar AP setup (on an evo however) being put through the paces. Notice the heat dissipation on the rotors... the cooling vanes on the AP competition discs are VERY effective http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=ZSv8JNvjVsA
