[Gear_One_Performance]

Sorry for being so absent, we've been a bit busy.

First, we want to be clear that we have no problems with the AP kit at all. We run a version on our shop WRX currently and we tested the enduro car on it as well as the hyper blue brz we have. Second, if the OP seems one sided it's because we just thought the info on the AP brakes have been discussed many times and we didn't think we needed to reiterate it. We wanted this to spark a conversation about the different set ups, but absolutely not in any negative way. We think the AP kit does what it does extremely well, no one is arguing that. From what we see with our customers it appears to be the most popular and well regarded bbk out right now. The goal here was to show people another viable option whether it be for street or track or a show car.

Second, it is a pretty bare bones OP because we were excited to just let people know about the new RR stuff. Cost analysis of repeated track days will be studied and any technical data we have will be posted....As soon as it warms up and we can get some track time.

With that said, during testing of the enduro car last year our drivers didn't quite like the AP racing kit. They felt the kit was a tad bit too front bias. We decided to adjust accordingly with a kit we saw as better balanced. With the drivers running nearly 3 hour stints it's important to keep our drivers input at the forefront. Now, we did NOT run the sport performance kit during our race at VIR. We ran the Stage IV kit front and rear, and nine hours into the race they were still perfect and we were doing well....then we got bumped off. The point is RR makes quality stuff too, and we think everyone should know that.

One thing we always keep in mind is that not everyone is into the same car based hobby. Some people like stance, some like racing or HPDE, some like daily driving a cool looking car. We just want to hopefully provide info for all those crowds.

Again, the initial comparison was made for cars that would be mostly daily driven with occasional track use. A comparison of what is considered the best option on the market vs a budget friendly kit. A more apples to apples comparison is the RR racing stage IV vs the AP racing. And after 9 hours of wheel to wheel racing and multiple test days, we think the RR rotors will be good for at least two seasons worth of track days.

That was a lot...haha hopefully this clears some things up!
