Hi Guys,
Let me know if anyone has any specific questions on these two systems. I tried to answer as many tech questions in my blog post as possible, but I'm sure I missed something! We will have prototype parts in-house within the next few days. We'll be test fitting, and then track testing them in our project car. I'll update this thread and our blog with developments as they occur. If all goes as planned, the Endurance package is also going to have a provision for a brake duct built right into the caliper bracket, which I've never seen done before...should be pretty slick.
Target pricing on these will be in the $2,195 range for the Sprint package, and $2,495 for the Endurance package. It's tough to give a final price right now because we won't know exactly what will be in each kit until all of the prototyping and testing is done.

Interesting, I was actually looking at the Stillen 4pot AP package. I assume no dust seals on these since they are a full racing caliper?

We are also working with AP Racing to spec out a few other kits, from their Formula line of products. These will use painted calipers with dust boots, etc., and will contain a few enhancements that Essex has specifically requested. We're going to have a four piston front kit that will fit the OEM 17" wheels, a six piston front, and four piston rear. These will all be fully built in England at AP's facility, and they are using some cool new caliper designs. I'll post more pics and info on these setups as we move forward. These setups will be a little more expensive than the competition systems.

Sweet. This kit has been out for the WRX/STI for awhile now and was one of the first things I thought of for a brake upgrade for this car. No need for a big heavy kit with gigantic rotors.

Our Endurance kit is essentially the same as what we're doing on the STI, EVO, Corvette, M3, etc. We decided that a lighter version would be more appropriate for many of our customers running this platform. The disc we're using (CP3862) is the same as what we're using in our recently released S2000 kit. It saves a ton of weight over stock, has a ton of benefits, and is insanely cheap for a top quality racing disc.
