Many have, They are just not bragging about it Like any other seal, it has its limits. I know someone who broke a first generation Ianetti, when I see him I'll ask him what happened. I think the main advantage is the lack of wear on the rotor housings. The best sealing I am aware of is with the stock 3 piece seal. The stock seals are good t over 30psi in my personal experience. Keep this thread at the top, you'll get your answers. I am NOT a "Seal Expert", ther are plenty of guys on here that can answer your question, there just under their cars right now

Where can you get Ianetti seals and how much do they cost? I'm interested in this as well

I sell NRS rotorsports ceramic seals, PM me for details....

Best kept secret in the performance world Rob from Pinnaple uses them as well if you want to buy them localy.

In my 13B big hp car I am using one piece 3mm premium grey type seals, you will not find anything stronger or more durable.
