I've been running the RB 332x28 BBK in front and the 2pc rotors in back. It saves ~10lbs of unsprung weight per corner (fronts) and shifts bias to the rear (but not enough to lock the rears first). With 255 RA1s and ATE Superblue I'm only beginning to get fade as the pads (Hawk DTC60s) wear down.

Overall a great kit for the price and significantly lighter than the Stoptech BBK.

I have the RB 2-pc front rotors. I bought them used from another local member who already put 8 track days on them. After I bought the rotors, I measured the rotor thickness and they were like new. I've since put another 7 track days on them and they still have a lot of life left. They're still barely worn. I'm very satisfied w/ the rotors' performance and life.

Not only did we do the race on one set of rotors, but one set of pads as well!!!!

Racing Brake supplied us with a new compound that is low dusting, low noise, and streetable, while still standing up to the abuse of endurance and sprint racing and 1400 deg. temperatures. I've been told the compound we used should be available to the public soon.

We were delighted at the performance of the Racing Brake rotors and pads, and will be using Racing Brake products distributed by WORKS exclusively from now on.

Big thanks to Warren and the Racing Brake team, your products really do stand out in the crowd.

If you've got a few track days scheduled in the next month or two, give us a call or stop by the shop. We may have a set with your name on them
