Yes, Simon also cleared that up with me, I was just of the wrong impression.

I do have 2 right side rotors. RR is sending me 2 left side with a discount.

I'll miss a track day, but that's a happy ending anyway

Yes, big screw-up on my part sending you 2 of the same directional rotors, sorry about that!

No problem. That's a good after sale demo for the forum

My kit arrived today! Looks like everything is present as requested but I haven't looked closely at the second caliper or rotor yet which I'll do after work tomorrow but I don't expect any issues. After that, I'll stick it in the closet with my other car parts until spring.









Gotta thank Simon for great service and clearing up any questions or confusion I had.

Got it with the BP10 pads which I'm planning to run for street and autocross and I'm ordering a set of dedicated track pads for the spring. Any suggestions on a pad for my stock rear calipers to complement the BP10s? Will the OEM pads be fine or should I find something with a bit more bite?

Generally we use a pad with a bit more bite in the back if you are using OEM rears. You definitely don't want to use a pad in the back with a lower coefficient of friction than the fronts, that is not ideal for the track.

Yellow Lacquer on Stage II front and Racing Sport Rears

Is it possible to get the Yellow (High Temp Lacquer) to match for both the StageII Fronts and the Racing Sport Rears? Also, what pads would you recommend for best bias with this setup?

Its like you read my mind.....

Except I want stage 4 front and sport performance rear.

Is there anyone that has managed to burn the paint doing ~30min track sessions?

Dont get me wrong, I want the package for the performance on track, but I would also like the calipers to look good. Im not racing, I would just like to do ~30min track sessions without the pads disintergrating and costing me $$ all the time.

The 2 component paint we use is rated at 600F+ continuous temperature capability. It is not as durable as the black anodized finish, but it can take heat much better than powder coating.

For dual purpose street race, I really think the best performing and value pad for these calipers is the Wilwood BP20 compound.

We can certainly do yellow... pic below is a 3rd Gen IS350 we recently did in custom yellow (also added pics of some silver and red calipers we recently completed):

Here it is. It fills out the rims much better. No spacers necessary lots of space. Lots more heat capacity . I'll probably do a short review once I have had a chance to stress them

@Rafi@RR-racing

So I was sitting here, reading through this thread and wondering to myself "why do I know that company name???" Well, it just so happens that I bought your old LEDA suspension from your Ford Probe which was (and still is) on my MX-6 I sold a few years back. I also ran your poly mounts on this car which were brilliant.

I wish our CDN dollar wasn't worth 40% less than USD right now otherwise I'd be reaching out to you for brakes for my new car!

Glad to see you're still playing around with platforms I seem to own. I'll definitely be considering a set of these when our dollar normalizes a little.
