Love RPF1's, cars gonna be hooked up this year Norm!

Probably, if not should be there to help out or visit.

This year, I'm switching to the Essex AP Racing Sprint BBK (with Ferodo pads again) and Torque RT700 Brake Fluid (recommended by CSG). The Endurance BBK is very nice - I went with the Sprint because:

• The smaller caliper is compatible with my 17x9ET35 RPF1 rims
• Rotors cost less

I might eventually get dedicated track pads and swap them for the track, but I'm kinda lazy.

Good to know about the RPF1 fitment Norman. I may end up with RPF1s this year. I had a set of 15x8 RPF1s on my CRX and I loved them but I was forced to change when I got the Wilwood BBK.

Don't hesitate to check the Canadian classified section. Stav from JRP is doing a group but on some 17x9 35 RPF1's. He is only ordering 10 sets. I think I spoke up for set #7.

Check it out if you think your interested.

I hope you didn't buy them online, and have to reship them back

I'm upgrading my brakes bit in anticipation of CMP stuff in May
HPS pads all around Project u fluid, Goodrich SS lines and front discs that Norm never used
I know it's just a training track day but I don't want to mess up my brakes a few laps in
Thanks for the honourable-mention there @Pbrown

You guys make me feel like there is going to be a lot of catching up to do when I get my car in May!

Installed the Essex AP Racing Sprint kit yesterday. Not too difficult, just took a long time. The instructions are excellent.

Any idea if these fit under a 17" RPF1? They look gorgeous! Might need to get them just cause!

[Trac Toy]

Nvm, found the info I needed....

Just start buying parts now!
I had a pile of parts months before I even ordered my frs
My car also had full coil-overs, Cusco braces, CAI, cat back, wheels and tires before it had 200km on it

That's exactly what I'm doing right now!
I have over 5000$ of parts waiting to be installed.

However, I was going to wait after my break-in period of 1000 km to start modding. Thoughts? Or is this just an old wives tale?

You may want to consider HP+ up front, or Ferodo 2500.
I think you will experience fade with the HPS on the front axle. Depends how good/hard on the brakes you are, as the HPS are better than stock, just not a ton better.
