Nope. Well marketed and definitely functional, but not a top notch product like AP/Brembo.

Plus, the replacement costs are Brembo prices, but not Brembo quality.

I had a question as far as oils goes.

Replaced my engine(Motul Eco-Lite0w20, trans(Motul Gear 300), diff oil(Motul Gear 300) about 2000 miles ago last summer around July. I have done 2 track days around november-december. was wondering how often should I change my trans and diff oil and if it time to replace my engine oil before my next track event next weekend. was planning on using motul 300v 5w30

@CSG Mike and anyone else out there with the AP Racing competition sprint kit. I have two 500 ml bottles of Torque RT700 and I was planning to flush my brakes. My current fluid is Motul RBF660. It's almost a year old now and it definitely doesn't hold up at the track anymore.

I want to flush my brakes this weekend but I was looking over the AP Racing sprint brake kit manual and I noticed that it recommends 1.5 L of brake fluid to flush the system. I know the AP brake calipers are bigger than stock, but is 1.5 L really necessary? From your guys' experience do you find yourselves having to crack open a third 500 ml bottle when flushing the brakes?

My shop did a full flush when installing the AP Sprint on my car this week. The car had RBF660 on it, and it seems they used roughly a bottle and two thirds of RT700 for the flush, each bottle being 500ml.

Ok, cool. So it sounds like my two 500 ml bottles of RT700 should be enough. I just got to make sure not to waste/spill any when doing the flush. Thanks!

You'll waste less fluid if you use the gravity bleeding method. It'll just take a lot longer time.

of if you use project mu for one change, then switch to another for the next.
(cause project mu is green)

1L is fine. 20 pumps for each rear will be more than plenty with a mostly flushed reservoir.

last time at the track i was testing my brakes/bravery and braking later and later each lap from about 220kph to about 60-70kph. when i started really pushing it and really standing on the brakes, i started to notice some wiggle. it was definitely discomforting. is this normal under severe braking, or is there an issue? brake pads and rotors all look fine, tires almost new. alignment problems?

Any suspension modifications on your car?

Did you do the pedal dance beforehand?
