Looking at the wheel sizes and offset, just to confirm. Will Titan 7 TS-5 18x9.5 +40 wheels clear the AP Racing Sprint Kit?

Your best bet is to check our wheel fitment template:

Anybody got the answer to this? I am looking to buying a set, but the places I have been to are special order only so I can't use the template.

I can confirm that Konig Ultraform 17x8 +40 fit the sprint kit without any issues. There is plenty of clearance for the caliper.

I this question is kinda out of place here, but I found this when searching the Sparco Assetto Gara wheels. Does anybody know if the 17x7.5 et48 Gara wheels will clear the factory BRZ Performance Pack Brembos? Tire Rack says no, but they don't know how close they are. Is this a barrel clearance issue, or could a spacer solve it?

I just got a set of the OZ Ultraleggera 18x8 +48, I absolutely love them, though i havent had them for long enough to give a detailed review. I do find OZ to generally produce quality products, and the 2 year finish warranty is a nice lil bonus.

No, it's not leaking. Here's what the installation guide has to say.

Please note: After bleeding the system, there will remain a small amount of residual brake fluid inside the
bleed screws and/or around the threads. As the calipers heat up, this fluid will force its way out and will
look like the calipers are leaking. This is perfectly normal and will go away after a short time. If you experience a spongy pedal or continue to see fluid leaking after a day or so then re-torque the bleed screws to the
proper 150 in/lbs.

Hi!
For people who don't actively follow you, it's very hard to find this information on the 11th page of some thread on a forum.

Suggestion: regularly update the first post in this thread with the most up to date information, similarly to what is done here:

Rather than going to a forum to find product-specific information, why not go to the manufacturer's website that makes and sells the product? Their website is really good with tons of information on it. I don't think it's fair to expect any company to monitor forums.

Oh indeed they have those lists on the product pages, sweet! That's uncommon among calipers for our platform but appreciated!
Perhaps it would be useful on the first post to remove the out of date list and simply say that the product page has the most up to date list.
