I wonder if Stillen bought a car for R&D or not. I know Essex did, I saw it last Wednesday

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I'm no designer. I just give my input on what I'd like to see, and the engineers work their magic!

I'm not sure, but in their defense they've had a number of really nice development cars over the years, including at least on GT-R.

AND he's classy and humble!

Got a chance to take @CSG David's car out for a quick spin last night and the Sprint package brakes feel absolutely fantastic. Job well done Essex. Can't imagine how strong these must be.

Can these be paired with the recently announced 4 pot rears? Is a different rear setup still in development to be paired with these 6 pots?

Great options don't make the choice easy.

Yes, these are designed to work with the newly announced rear kits.

Hi Guys,
I finally got the page for the AP Racing six piston front system up on our website. It has all details, weights, specific caliper specs, etc. This is the black caliper kit. I'll be adding the red and silver versions soon. Thanks.:happy0180:
