The Essex sprint systems don't seem very dd friendly regarding noise and no boots. The formula kit is nice but wish it was a 4 piston closer to sprint pricing. The larger stoptech kit sounds like a good option for you, I may have a set coming in real soon.

I agree, mostly because I think it'll look stupid without big rear brakes. If it's designed well it should be OK, but as we've seen in the past a lot of the time massive front brake kits are NOT designed correctly and increase stopping distance by screwing up bias. New cars with fancy traction control are rear biased a lot more than older cars though so who knows.

A note on the noise in the Sprint kit. You occasionally can hear a pad move around. In my car it only happens to one pad in the race pad set, the S100s don't move at all. Pad tolerance I guess. Also in my car it only happens when backing up and hitting the brakes and on occasional bumps (railroad tracks seem to be a favorite).

Of course, that loud ass popping from the rear deck is about 1,000x worse.

On the endurance, I'd suspect the same noise as the Sprint kit with the addition of the rotors sliding around on the hat. That's only going to be noticable at slow speeds also.

Hanakuso had more pad movement than I did. He was using Hawk pads so maybe they have looser tolerances?
