This BBK is custom designed by Essex for any GT86 and tested for the track. My prior track car, a 98 ITR, had a BBK, and it was important to maintain high quality braking capabilities and heat resistance during extended track days for both 200tw & rcomps.

I also liked how this BBK was designed to work with existing OEM brake master cylinder and ABS. This kit also shaves 20lbs of unsprung weight.

I was delighted to here this process is much easier on the GT86. Honda platforms require also replacing the wheel bearings for extended stud installs.
