Couple of quick questions...
If it uses the stock OEM pads then all it is doing is using more rotor surface to keep down heat right?
What size rotors are the stock Brembo kits?
What is the difference between a 2 piece rotor vs. a 1 piece rotor (performance and longevity wise)?
If it uses the stock OEM pad does that mean we will still get the same amount of brake dust?

With the long waiting list, backorders, and heat rising here in AZ, we won't be doing any track tests for a couple months. I have recommended that customers who already have the kits post of their experience. Sorry, Nissan cannot keep up with demand, so we have not had to chance to keep a set for ourselves.

Correct, but we have Hawk Pads on the way, so HPS pads FTW to keep dust down
What size rotors are the stock Brembo kits? 12.75
What is the difference between a 2 piece rotor vs. a 1 piece rotor (performance and longevity wise)?
Cooling, Performance, Longevity, and Looks

Yup Same, but I would recommend Hawk HPS pads to keep that down. They will be available Next week.

Well then I am in... Shoot me an email if you would when the 2 piece rotors and HPS pads are ready to go for my 03. I will take them off your hands as soon as you can get them in.
