Looking at buying this kit as well. Came off the track yesterday, running Hawk +/ HPS combo and the brakes were smoking like a chimney even after the cool down lap.

As far as the brakes, the stock brakes just can't dissipate heat like these, learned my lesson.
I had to clean my hubs very thoroughly as well. At least one rotor needed to be knocked off with a deadblow hammer.

Didn't watch the video yet, but did you coat the hub and inside of the hat with anti-seize?
