Yes, but the last time i checked it wasn't clear that the RC5+ was made for the AP/Essex. RC6 and above are available.

RC5+ is a good hybrid pad, but they're so expensive in North America, it's almost better to just go for more boutique track pad. BBK pad selection do need to be setup accordingly. Some of our more skilled clientele do have to have the right pad setup to maximize their braking potential and consistency. We have had several Essex kits shipped overseas so if you have any questions, please let us know on how we can help. Also, I do believe we have several sets of RC6 on the shelf for the Sprint and Endurance kits. :thumbups: |

Of course, what i meant is that the OP doesn't seem to need more than that.
The only reason for me to move into a BBK are long term costs and being able to make longer runs on track but i like the convenience of CL pads(no bedding in, designed to work well from low temps), specially the RC5+ which is pretty good all around and my 86 is both a DD and a tracktoy. RC6's are terrible for your wheels/bodypaint, and the noise is not for everyone.
That's why i was asking.
I'll be in touch with you guys when the time to replace my rotors comes, perfect excuse for one of those Sprint kits...

How are the US prices of curiosity? Are the RC5+ worth an extra 33$ in your opinion?
Also, can I leave the rear brakes stock (apart from the braided lines)? Or will I run into bias problems?

I've seen RC5+ for around 150€ in a French online shop.
I haven't found any issues regarding brake bias, btw.
