We just finished up some great new videos on our Competition BBK's. We walk through each of the kit components and look at the shortcomings of road brakes when used on the track. Check them out below...they're worth a watch, and more to come!

I am sure that my SSR Type C 16x7.5j +35 should pass also.

Did you ever happen to have a chance to confirm if the SSR Type-C 16x7.5 +35 cleared the Sprint kit template?

No.
But after looking into the inside of wheels, I thought Type C has more room than the other.

When I have a chance to get Type C's off, I'll let you know.

Anyone know the minimum spacer size needed to fit OEM wheel over sprint kit?

I know 10mm will work and sounds like 5 may not. Anyone know exact spec?

These fit the Sprint kit with a plenty of clearance:
Volk TE37SL 18x8.5 +35
Volk CE28RT 17x9 +38 (black edition)

This will fit the Sprint Kit with plenty of room:
TSW Bathurst, 17x8, +35.

Hi Jeff,
As you might know, in some European countries an annual or bi-annual vehicle inspection is mandatory (MOT, TÜV etc.).

Germany is one of the strictest: If you make any modifications to your car, you have to get your car inspected by TÜV (Trans: Technical Inspection Association) and the modification approved. This is a "one time exceptional approval" for the individual car and might be hard to obtain without thorough documentation from the manufacturer about the part in question.

1) What documentation do you deliver with the brakes that would help in that matter?

Another option is that the manufacturer itself approach TÜV and obtain a "General Approval" for their product (or another company on their behalf, like a distributor or dealer). In this case it is a lot more easy for the end user, as the only thing that TÜV will check, is if they follow the instructions for installation in the "general approval".

2) Would you consider obtaining such a "general approval"?

A TÜV approval is also a quality stamp and is widely recognised across Europe. So even for other European countries a TÜV approval is helpful.
