Hi,
The wheel templates for the Radi-CAL kits can be found in the links below:

Front CP9660/355mm= https://www.essexparts.com/storage/w...l_template.pdf

Front CP9668/355mm= https://www.essexparts.com/storage/w...l_template.pdf

Rear= https://www.essexparts.com/storage/w...l_template.pdf

Differences between CP9660 and CP9668 caliper kits here: https://www.essexparts.com/news-blog...9660-or-cp9668


For future reference, here's how you find our wheel fitment charts when looking at specific brake kits on our site.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that. Thanks for making my job so much fun!

We have added most of our new BRZ listings to our website. We now have SEVEN brake kit options for the Gen.2!

You can see them all here:
https://www.essexparts.com/my-vehicl...Subaru/BRZ/All

We're still working on adding the new version of our Sprint Kit. The newly designed caliper bracket prototype is being manufactured currently, and we should have our test fit completed within the next couple weeks.

All the other brake kits are available to order now. We are backlogged a little bit from our holiday promotions, but we should be able to ship any new brake kit order within the next 2-3 weeks or so.

Thanks for your patience gents!

That's amazing, thanks a lot for you contributions to the community!

Any plans to make a more daily-friendly but still track-capable kit?
I haven't tried your calipers yet, but I asked a few folks who run your CP8350/325 kit complained that it gets very loud when street driving.

Second for this. I'd be interested in something like an OEM+ fixed caliper F+R combo.

I'd say the Sprint kit is what you're looking for. I've run it for several years, and when used with the right pads it is quiet.
What are you hoping to achieve by replacing the rear calipers?

Not having sliding calipers.

Which pad? I presume the same compound would be equally quiet with the AP Racing Endurance kit?

AP makes 2 pot fixed calipers. I suppose it's just a question of if any of them would keep close to a stock balance with the sprint front kit.

I've only used Hawk HPS regularly with this kit on the street. Haven't felt the need to try anything else on the street, as they get the job done and come from the same manufacturer as my track pads.
Disclosure: part of why I use Hawk is due to their NASA contingency program. I've driven a couple other compounds on the track I like just as well (CSG C2 and one of the Project Mu compounds). Several others I have tried I don't like as much.
I haven't driven an Endurance kit, but expect it would behave the same.

Is this still in the plan, just a bit down the road in 2022?

Thanks!



I'll second what OG Pat said about noise above (I'm calling him 'OG' since he is Original Gangsta FT86, and has been running our kit a long time...thank you Pat!).


Our kits aren't inherently any noisier than stock brakes. Noise comes down to the pads in almost all cases. Sometimes it's the pad material itself (very typical of track compounds that have a high metal content), and other times it's just that the pads and discs aren't bedded-in properly. Once the pad transfer layer is worn off the discs when the brakes are driven around cold, they can then squeal a bit particularly if aggressive pads are loaded in. Then the bedding process needs to be repeated.


As Pat noted, Hawk HPS is a mild street compound that exhibits almost no noise in most cases. Another good one is Ferodo DS2500. There are a million pad compounds for our kits from all the major pad suppliers, since we use commonly available pad shapes. You can get anything from ultra-mild cruiser pads to endurance racing pads.


All the above applies to all of our kits.

Yes. The two kits that will fit under some 17's are already listed on our site...they are the CP8350 caliper kits (the ones with the yellow logos on the caliper). On the Gen.1 cars, our 299mm Sprint Kit actually fit under some 15's that people tried.

Our CP9660/355mm kit may even fit under some 17's...has happened on other applications including the WRX STI. The Radi-CAL calipers in that one are extremely compact.

I have someone who has offered to check our wheel fitment templates on his OEM 17 BRZ wheels as soon as the weather warms up a bit (he's in Ohio).

You can see all the kits here:

https://www.essexparts.com/my-vehicl...Subaru/BRZ/All

Here's how to check wheel fitment for any of our brake kits. The wheel fitment template for our smallest 299mm is not yet complete. It won't be until we bring the test car back in to do final fit checks on it, which should be within the next couple weeks. Templates for the 8350/325mm and 9660/355mm kits are already listed:
