I'll update this as soon as I get a chance. I'm still working on the rest of the BBK and brake pads.

SE · 05-17-2010, 09:29 PM

If anyone can find specs on the two different Endless BBK that would be greatly appreciated.

daleks · 05-17-2010, 09:43 PM

Anyone know anything about Racing Brake, EBC, or Relentless Autosports? Those look like the only companies that make 2-piece floating rotors for the Akebono kit, and unfortunately I know nothing of those brands or their equipment.

Unfortunately I do not know much about R.A., however I do speak from experience when I say that Racing Brake makes very good, track-proven rotors. Both RB and EBC are reputable track proven companies with years of experience.
