Installing an Essex AP Racing 9668 Kit... So much drool!

For sure, the Essex rotors run quite a bit cooler. when I come into the pits, usually about 200 F cooler front versus rear.

Finally, have not found any brake pad that could stand the heat of Laguna on the stock calipers. Essex kit is the first time I was able to run more than a couple Hot laps in a row at Laguna.

I have the 9449 rear kit for sale, PM me!

What size/offset SM10s do you have? Any issues running the AP 9668 kit?

On the front I have SM10 18x10.5 ET22 then run a 5mm to clear my 305/645/18 tires.
