Bump. Because I'm holding off on buying a used Brembo set until I get some info on the special edition kit.
J Ritt, any info you can give us? Is this going to go more for performance or asthetics? Tell Steve Ruiz to get off his USCC winning *** (I'm just guessing) as design us some lightweight monoblock calipers already!

We just had another internal discussion on this...hang in there guys. It's coming closer to reality.
I'm really leaning towards both performance and aesthetic differences. I'm evaluating some new suppliers, processes, etc. right now. It's a tough balance between cost and content. I want to do something special, but I don't want it to be so expensive that nobody can actually afford it!
I will say that carbon ceramic rotors will certainly be an option with this kit.
No comment...I know something you don't know.

I imagine you're not allowed to divulge anything about the competition prematurely, so maybe you could just tell us how big his 1st place trophy is?

Thanks! My concern is that the Carbon rotors will make the kit too expensive.

Right now, if I went with ST, I'd look at the smaller of the kits. The 327mm (I think that's what it is) front kit with ST40 calipers, and the ST20 rears. I don't need to fill up some huge wheels or have the largest brake rotors on the planet. I plan on making my car much lighter as time goes by, so a huge kit is not needed, and the less unsprung mass the better. I think the smaller kit would do just fine for my track day needs.

edit: btw, this is what Gary is running and he has nothing but rave reviews for it. And it fits in my little 17" wheels.

So whats the status of these things? SEMA is just around the corner and we haven't heard a peep recently. Im still pulling for a kit in matte black with yellow lettering. Hopefully things like zinc plated rotors and gold hats would be included.

I personally would like to see black calipers with orange writing or orange calipers with black lettering. I think it would look good for the Lemans Sunset and sunburnt orange leather seat owners like me.
