You gotta hate when that happens.....when you knowing buying one part is going to lead to buy another new part..so you buy it anyways :)

The first run of production hats for Sprint Systems is complete and back from anodizing. We finalized QC inspection on them, and we've started mounting them on the AP Racing Heavy Duty J Hook discs. This particular disc is heading to it's new home in sunny California. :thumbsup:

Out the door Friday! I'll get you tracking number asap.

I got this from an RX7 customer...just had to share, and the blue actually looks similar to Subaru WR Blue, and it gives an idea how the brakes look behind another wheel style. This car is running the CP3908 discs and CP8350 caliper...same bits that are in our BRZ/FR-S Systems. Man how I love FD's...!!!:bow:

One more thing...we just received a great brake system review from a customer with a supercharged S2000. If you have any doubts about the Sprint System disc not being large enough to handle your BRZ or FR-S, you shouldn't! This particular S2000 is 350 whp and 2900lbs with driver, and is running the same caliper and disc that our Sprint system uses...no fading, no issues, no fussing about.:thumbsup:

I know performance wise, 99% of us will be well served by stock calipers/rotors with some good pads and good fluid but damn if that setup isn't sexy.

This is one of those cases where it looks sexy AND it's functional. That's not always the case in today's world....

ignore any braking performance increase, and the cool look. 20lbs of unsprung rate is a ton to shave off.
