Can't wait!

Just thought I'd post ***** and get the first message on the new board.

FWIW, I pre-ordered and can't wait to see the finished product.

Yeah, me too... I'm only getting the rear kit for now to balance my upgraded fronts but I'm still very interested to see how well the whole setup will work!

Ordered the full set, can't wait to get em. Do you guys think 1 liter of supeblue will be enough for a completely empty system to include abs/mc/reservoir?

I think I'll ask again.....has one full set been made and tested yet? I'm on the fence so I need something to sway me either way.

I'm close to pulling the trigger on the rears to blance out my ducted M2 setup. I take it the 20% discount does not apply towards rears only?

BTW: Chris, I'm going to have to fly out there and see this car in person. Seems like every notable part that comes around ends up on your car. lol

AOC, it's just the rear bracket that holds the caliper that is black. The rear kit uses your old caliper, so you would have to paint that red to match the front. RB said they use regular red caliper paint so hopefully it should be pretty close to the front no matter which brand you buy.

correct on the rear bracket... it comes black. my rear caliper is chrome and so i just painted the rear bracket to match. i have posted pictures in the main thread.

the front calipers are, i think, powdercoated. mine will be red. i believe red and black are current options. i expect my front calipers very soon (days) and will immediately photo everything again and get out on the road and track. i will be testing all the pad options.

Howard is correct our standard color comes in black on the rear bracket, however we are also offering different high temperature caliper paint that you can order at your choice of color (red). The caliper paints are currently on back order but we hope they will be available when the kits start to ship.

http://www.racingbrake.com/Caliper_paint_p/SP-731.htm

Our rear kit does not come with brake lines, however the required brake lines (front & rear) are included in our front 4-piston caliper kit.

For those who just purchase the rear big brake kit can either use their stock lines or purchase our brake line kit separately. Neither we sell or recommend just upgrade the rear brake lines.

Any update on clearing the 16-inch stock wheels perhaps with a little filing . . .

I also have 16-inch Supra wheels with a deep notch cut out to clear the front calipers.
