Just some input for everyone out there considering this kit. I was at Laguna recently and observed the following.
AP 9668 Front DSuno Pads Stock Rear Hardware DSuno Pads 25mm starting pad life 6 laps 1:50 average time (first session, very damp) 29 laps 1:38 average time 15mm end pad life I was hoping for better life out of these as I was going through a set of DS1.11/RS29 on stock hardware in 2 days at Laguna. If this wear keeps up, looks like I might get 2.5 days out of the thicker pads with the AP kit. On the plus side I experienced zero fade and had a ton of confidence in the brakes even after doing 9 very hard laps in a row. I am going to try the DS1.11 on the front for my next order and see how those do. I know there's not much difference other than initial bite, but Essex says I will get more life out of them vs the DSuno so we'll see. |

For my kit I'm starting with 1.11's up front and 2500 on the rear. Will be running COTA on the 17th, so will give a report.

How's COTA if it rains? I'm thinking about making the trip from SoCal but am mainly worried about showing up and having two very rainy days where they limit time or cancel the event. Can you drive windows up while its raining?

Stay off the painted curbs if it's raining. If it's misty and you have the right rain tires then it's manageable. If it's pouring, probably a good idea to wait it out. Hit those barriers and you'll end up paying for them as well.

Well the AP / Essex setup held up like a champ. In a word, SOLID! No hint of fade anywhere, even after repeated stops from 150-20. Highly recommended!

Can't really comment on the dust as it's not really something that concerns me. I would guess there's more.

I've been using the AP 9668 kit with DSuno on the front and rear of the car (rear is stock hardware) and they are pretty dusty for street use. Washed my car on Saturday, have barely driven it and the fronts already have very noticeable dust. For track use I feel like dust was increased 2x, maybe 2.5x vs the OEM hardware.

At MOST, the only thing I would pay attention to is giving the pistons a quick wipe down before pushing them back into the calipers during a pad install. |
