FYI, I'm not running the sprint kit. I'm running their Factory BBK, which is different from both the Sprint and Endurance Competition kits, but your point is still valid; it is designed to be used with the stock rear brakes.

However, I'm running into a bigger issue now, which is that this being a relatively uncommon kit, nobody seems to know what pad size I need to use. I just got off the phone with Carbotech and they hadn't seen my pad size before and could only offer me something "pretty close." I had assumed it would use a relatively common pad size but now I'm wondering if I even have many options.

As far as I can tell, though I may be wrong, the only pads AP Racing offers for these calipers are track pads, which makes no sense to me as this is the kit you buy if you're putting them on a road car that only sees occasional track use.
