Great pic

Fitted the anti knock back clips today and they seem to have cured the rattle

On went the ds2500s front and rear; no squeal but I'll give them a few outings before I reserve judgement.

Missing the massive bite of the ds UNOs though.

The DS2500 will be silent until you really heat them up the first time.

Cooked pads are cooked pads....

Another pic that shows a color gradient. You can REALLY see how quickly the Sprint kit dissipates heat here.

Well that would be an improvement over the UNOs which sounded like gear collapse landing from day one

Jeff,

Great info in this thread! I am now leaning towards AP Racing, just don't know which one to get! What kit do you recommend for a car that is street-driven and sees track action maybe once or twice a month? I was leaning towards the Sprint kit, but it will nof fit the stock 17" wheels. I'd like to be able to still use the stockers. Do you think it is possible for the stock wheel to fit with a spacer?

Second question - will the lack of dust boots on the Sprint kit be a problem in a tropical country? We don't have any snow here, but we do get a lot of rain during the monsoon season.

They fit with a 10mm spacer. For that, you'll need extended studs. They are easy to install though, I wrote a DIY on the forum for that install.

Rain doesn't hurt the brakes. Sand/Dust can cause the seal to fail faster.
