If the ST40 Trophy kit was $1500 or so if would be an obvious choice, but at roughly $2000, I'm not sure the extra $400 isn't worth it for the AP. Stoptech is a non floating rotor correct?
Yeah I may have been off as to which was which on the AP as I'm not as familiar. The Stoptech 2 piece rotors that came in my trophy kit are 328mm and they can be set up to be solid mount or full floating depending on how you flip the spring washers/mounting hardware -At least with what comes on the Trophy, I'm not sure if same rotors and hardware on the standard kit but I think they are the same size rotor anyway. Right now they came solid mounted, but I might swap to full floating config for track day and put back to solid for street. Over time full floating will wear out the aluminum hats under the mounting tab from the back and forth knocking/vibration.

When it rains it pours. Found a bubble in my OEM tire on the Fit:

Ordered a set of Continental DWS tires for daily duty to replace all four. The OEM tires were not wearing very well; one pair was down to 5/32nds with only 17k miles on the car.

lol Junky. At least I'm posting something, and I didn't choose a generic all-season tire!

Did you not see my AD08Rs for the other car? it's not ALL boring tires.

I had Victor install a new wheel bearing on my ap2. Really appreciate the work he's done, grinding metal noise is completely gone. Thanks!

Nice! I didn't know Victor was such a mechanic. After 13 years and over 200k miles on my car, the wheel bearings are one of the very few things left i have not done/had to deal with yet on this car. knock on wood! lol. Did he press in new bearings or replace the whole knuckle assy?
