We try not to beat up our vendors for delivery time. They are shooting for the end of May and that is when we will check in. We are blessed that we can find high quality vendors that will work on low volume cars like the S2000. Id figure the week after May to be safe. This is their busy season so I don't think they will get it done early.

I agree, but we we are keeping our cost down by using the OEM brackets that will either by modified by us or the customer. We should come in around $700 before bracket and Pad Mod. We are also 3 lbs lighter than the Racing Brake with excellent track results from a 3 day, 9 session stint at VIR with a stock interior Supercharged S2K.

Customers can also use the pads they are used to by modifying the pad or replacing one pad at a time to clear their rotor.

We are not limited to the Racing Brake Rotor Material so all pads should work great including carbotech.

One issue with the RB kit is that it uses a larger diameter rotor which affects brake bias

Yup, I was saying your kit is better with respect to that

Our Rear rotors are 16.5mm thick, the slot in the bracket where the rotor slides in is 16mm. It needs to be opened up about 4mm. It is a non load bearing part, it simply holds pads in place when the piston doesnt have pressure behind it.

Will brackets be sold with the kit with a possible core deposit charge to mail back our current OEM brackets?

Yes, they will we are working on that. We only plan to stock 5 brackets at the moment so there will be a que for those. It is an easy mod and we hope some buyers can modify as needed to save cost and quicker turn around.
