I know nothing about that kit (or any other, for that matter). But I can change tires, pads and rotors all around in a half hour or less without difficulty, so I don't see much advantage to any "labor-saving" kit. I put the race pads in at my leisure at home, and drive to the track with them on the car, towing my tire trailer.

 

Ray can change pads in about 30 seconds with no tools (not counting the time it takes to pull the wheels off). It is an advantage.

I don't know anything else about the tradeoffs involved, though.

 

Wow, that is impressive! One does wonder what tradeoffs are involved, however.

 

Yes brake mass is where the heat goes. So a lighter system can actually not be up the task to repeated hard use.

And sure you can change pads quicker, which is nice because you usually have to change them more often since many of the calipers use smaller pads than stock.

If you don't count removing the wheel you can replace the front oem pad in 1 minute no problem.

if you absolutely have top spend money i would get the stoptech stage two kit with SLOTTED rotors, NEVER drilled

 

But not without tools. And not the rears.

(I use the OEM calipers and rotors.)

 

I dont know why you bring up mass when the brake rotor from the 4 pot kit is LARGER than an oem rotor. Also, the brake pad on the 4 pot kit utilizes a bigger pad than our oem pads.











Anything else you want to provide?

 

Spoon calipers are a good option for a slight upgrade over stock, and you can still retain use of OEM pads and rotors.

I would try some stainless lines, and upgraded pads first if you are still newer to the track. They will make a big difference.

 

explain to me how you can say something is lighter but not have less mass?

Physical dimensions have nothing to do with either.

And the pad IIRC is smaller than oem.

 

uhm no.

Never either. They both are way more proned to cracking.
