1) Can you update the f/r bias chart you did to include sport front and sport rear? 2) I noticed the sport rear has only BP20 as a pad option, but the sport front defaults to BP10 pad - is there a reason for that? Should they be matched if you order both? I don't want squeal, and I mostly daily drive on the street (99.5% of the time ) 3) Also the sport rear has a high-downforce option - I assume the default for this should be the non-high downforce if you don't have a giant wing? 4) The rotor pictured for the front sport kit has one direction slots, but the rear has opposing direction slots, are the pictures correct? Thanks again! |

If the Stage I kit requires less clearance does the Stage I front kit fit the stock wheels without a spacer at all? The last post I saw mentioned something about 10mm. Maybe that was the Stage II and I was misunderstanding... |

I don't really see the rear kit as an enticing value proposition compared to the front kit because the pads are listed as only slightly thicker than stock. I'd consider getting the rear kit to have a match to the front kit because I'm OCD like that but it seems the rear rotors have a different slot pattern than the fronts which would bug me. Can you clarify on the rotor setup or any way to get matching rotors if they are different? Last edited by Lynxis; 11-18-2015 at 04:50 PM. |

Yes, regarding BBK fitment for stock wheels, what you wrote is correct. The Sport Performance Rear 4 piston BBK is a huge value proposition because what we achieved is more heat capacity AND a big shift in rear bias which benefits braking performance tremendously. The rear pad wear rate is much less than fronts, so the thickness of the pads is plenty sufficient. You will find that the rear pads will still outlast the thick pads we use on our front BBK's, so this is a non-issue. Next week we will have front rotors that match the Sport Performance kit rears. I will post pics of the new front rotor option that matches rears by next week. Bias chart: |

Where would the Sport Performance Front setup fall in that brake bias chart? I think seeing the Sport Performance Front/OE Rear bias and the Sport Performance Front/Sport Performance Rear bias would be helpful. I would assume the 4 piston Front would have a smaller piston area and that would cause the brake bias to be pushed further back. It seems like the Sport performance Fronts with OE rears would be a very attractive setup for budget minded buyers.

All our front BBK kits (Sport Performance 4 piston, or the Stage 1-4 six piston kits) have exactly the same piston area. Sport Performance 4 piston kit is the ultimate budget BBK... and you can get our Sport Performance front AND rear 4 piston kits for less than most reputable front kits alone. It is a great performance and value proposition. Rafi |

Rafi,
What is your thoughts on mixing the Sport Rears with the compition fronts? I see you have a holiday sale going on, that is a $100 of the purchase of a F/R sport kit. But, would prefer the 6 piston fronts. |
