It's pretty amazing when you look at what a part designed for abuse can do vs. a part designed to be cheap! Tell your friend we have a solution for him as well: Our S2000 Competition Kit is very similar to our FT86 kit, except the discs are floating. We have a kit for both the AP1 and AP2. Thanks.
Yup, they turned into a beautiful eggplant color . Everybody at the track was admiring my brake system, specially since i could out brake almost every car . I was really surprised even with all the heat they generated that i did not get any brake fade what so ever, i really think that the Sprit Kit complemented with, AP Fluid, C300 Pads front, project Mu club racer rears made an excellent combo for the track. Now i need to call you and get some front extra rotors, rear rotors, another set of track pads. But first i need to get my wallet fat again since COTA drained it all
Jeff, what preventive maintenance for my calipers do you recommend after an event like that that. Should i take apart the caliper and give it a good cleaning after such a long event, or just brake cleaner and a pressure wash should do?

Watch the video, i had street compound R1R'S and all the cars you will see in the video were running full slicks and i could still catch them in the braking lap after lap, which means my AP's were being very consistent.
