Please feel free to PM me...

Also, I have my Ferodo DS2500 front pads currently as back-up since I'm on my second set of OEM pads up-front (I know, not the brightest idea)... Although I have your choice of Carbotech XP10/8 combo in the back of my mind for the time being...

No idea on OEM size rotors

I only used the OEM so I never replaced them. Some of the other guys might have some suggestions in the track forum.

So how is the new BBK performing? Was it equipped in that Sebring video?

Yep the kit was installed for that DE.

It's performing great. Working on a pad noise issue with Essex now (something I did I'm sure) but functionally the system worked flawlessy. No smoking brakes at the end of a session either. Tons of confidence in the brakes

I will be writting up a short review soon

Very nice upgrade on the brakes!

I've complained about the noise as well on the street. I got some Hawk HP pads coming, hopefully that will help.

My Ferodo's held up well on course though. Glad to be rid of heat, pad, and disc issues.

The AP S100 pads make a little noise on the street also, but they are livable at least.. the C300s are simply NOT usable on the street

Well unless you have no hearing.. and none of your neighbors do either

Your car looks very predictable through the corners. Mine would be sliding all over the place. Rear end tends to hangs out. I think I'm going to try fliping my front coils to the rear. I have KW by the way.

I haven't driven a car with KWV3's yet (well a FRS/BRZ I mean). Soften the rear bump up a bit

15k a week or two ago...

Also picked up a used offset Nameless Performance axleback.. awesome quality workmanship, quieter than expected. I like it

Talk to @Jason@Nameless if you want more info from them on anything.. smart guys.

pics..

I was adamant about the tip sizing, but after seeing it from the rear and others' cars I think a 4" tip would have looked better. Sounds awesome though.

I haven't looked at what Berk has been doing for these cars and this axleback came up pretty cheap on the classifieds on here.

I've used a Berk header before on my S2000, nice stuff.

I like how open Nameless has been in their R&D and conversations on here also and Jason called me months ago when I was asking about parts to have an hour long conversation on what I'd want in an exhaust, etc. So I just believe in their products and them and therefore I'm going to support them.

Same story with Jeff Ritter ( @JRitt ) at Essex, great guys and Jeff also reached out before these cars even went on sale to talk brake systems.

Gotcha. I'm torn b/w Berk and Nameless deletes.

I feel like paying $1k for an exhaust on this car is a waste right now. The extra 5Hp is not worth the cash. With that youre already 1/4 way to forced induction.

I did the axleback solely to be able to hear the car better on track with a helmet on.
