RR Racing Brake Development -- Competition and Street

[Kostamojen]

Alright, I have a couple questions. I'm interested in the Stage I or II fronts with the STI rotors and the Sport Performance rears:

1) Do the Sport Performance rear calipers have the Yellow option that the other calipers have?

And

2) How well are these kits working in conjunction with the Traction/Stability control and ABS systems for daily driving and in non-dry conditions?

Yes, we can do yellow calipers for the Sport Performance kits... not a problem.

We can absolutely assure you full compatibility with OEM stability/ABS systems in the dry or the wet. One of the motivations for the SP kits was to offer 86 owners a reasonably priced BUT fully ABS compatable alternative to the popular STi caliper retrofit -- which we know does not work well on 86 cars due to the change in bias.

Does someone know if the stage 4 fits inside ? :

TE37SL 17*8,5 +45
CE28N 17*9 +40

Thanks.

Has anyone installed any of these kits themselves? what does the install procedure look like? Are there any instructions or anything like that included?

please post pictures of the install in progress if anyone has them. Thanks!!

Install procedure is pretty much the same as replacing a caliper. 17mm to remove OEM caliper, remove brake lines, reinstall with new bolt. There is really good DIY on how to change brake pad/rotor in DIY section. Bleeding is a bit different since there are 2 valves on each caliper. Bleed from outside, then inside.

do I need to cut or remove the factory dust cover for either the front or rear kit?

[double0seven]

Nope don't need cutting. Make sure you have a flare wrench!

Wait, can someone explain this in more detail?

Thanks.

I would be willing to bet YES, those wheels tend to be really good for brake clearance.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Especially the te37sl.

Let me correct this a bit. There's 4 bleeders on each caliper (at least for mine) but you'll only be using the top 2. Then bleed from outside, then inside.

Currently Element Tuning is running our Competition Stage IV in the front, and our high downforce Competition Stage II kit in the rear.

I hate music in car videos. Insta'skip. Just sayin'.

I do inside first, then outside, but I also alternate a few times, and I tap the calipers with a plastic mallet to make sure all the bubbles rise to the top. You never bleed the lower bleed screws.

@Alan,

I'm also located in DE and wanting to jump up to the RR-Racing setup this year. Would be awesome to meet up with you and pick you brain on it!
