the rear +1 BBK arrived today and is on the car. will do some testing this saturday at NJMP with NASA TT. once testing is completed, then MPG will start to take preorder. the special preorder price is limited time only
also got word that the front BBK should arrive next week. just in time for me to test at summit point next week with nasa mid-atl
pics will be up soon.

The +1 rear kit looks great. Let us know how it performs on the track. I've been running RacingBrake 2 piece rotors for 2 years now and I'm very happy with their quality, performance and longevity. I got 23 track days out of my first set running stock calipers and Carbotech XP10 pads. I was cracking stock rotors about every 3 or 4 track days so they've actually been a money saver. After 23 track days I finally had a small crack that made it to the outside edge of the rotor ring. I simply bought new rings and bolted them up.
I just put 6 hours of track time on a set of Accord calipers and XP10 pads using a 1.5mm spacer sourced from hondaf1 (the op). My previous set of stock caliper XP10s only lasted 3 hours & 15 minutes so the Accord caliper upgrade is working out great. I'm really looking forward to adding a +1 kit to the rear.

can these be bought without the slots?
the Open Slots is what i have in the rear (pic above)
I'm not sure what rotor surface will be available for the front, but Open Slot will be available for sure.

fyi--just spoke to carbotech and they said they will make their pads to any thickness you want, for no additional surcharge. so... i'm in wheneverz.
still not sure whether to get +2 or +1 though. will have stoptech front bbk, but stoptech said that the system is designed to have a compatible torque balance with the oem rear, and thus upsizing the rotors without a complimentary change to the caliper sounds like it would throw off stoptech's balancing. perhaps +1 is more appropriate.

you can alway use different pad compound to adjust brake bias. if the larger rear rotor increase braking torque over oem, then use a less aggressive compound (which will be better for the rotor anyways).
