Priceless. No really they aren't technically for sale yet I was in direct contact with APR after they first announced them and they made this set of inlets available. Their FR-S/BR-Z inlets are right around $300 I believe so I would expect about the same. Not cheap but this is a very high quality part.

Who did you go through for your hyperco springs? I am thinking of getting some for my clubsports instead of selling them off for a new system entirely .

Are your fancy rotors still holding up after these track days?

I got them through Patrick at Urge when I got the Ohlins. They are available through quite a few shops, but they will all most likely be shipped directly from HyperCo.

Rotors are holding up well, starting to develop a few of the little micro surface hairlines like all rotors do, but no major issues. Using OEM rotors for this amount of time I would have already worn some pretty nasty grooves into the rotor face so that is definitely a good thing. I think with ducting I will be able to bring my pad wear down nicely, I have been thinking about doing rear ducting to the rear hubs also. The rear pad wear is not a problem, but it is amazing how much hotter the rear rotors seem to get.

Girodisc 2-piece floating OEM sized front rotors. You can always go pack to my original post in this thread and checkout the index.

I'm still a total novice when it comes to brakes. What makes the girodisc so special? I've got the stoptech street kit and the only thing I really am not a fan of is the pads because they're so dusty. Akebono will be next for me.

2-piece floating rotors actually allow for some "float" between the rotor ring and the center hat section. This allows the ring to expand and contract but avoid cracking. They also have more veins than an OEM rotor for better cooling, and are lighter.
