You would need to get the sport rotors.

 

We will be restocked on ALL BBKS, Rotors, Pads, and Lines Monday!

Don't forget to use the coupon special to get an extra 10% off your Brake order!!!

 

CAN'T WAIT! I wonder if it'll be here in time for a nice Memorial Weekend intall???

 

Restocked on everything!!!

I demand pics installed RA!

 

Extra Special Pricing for the Non-Sport front rotors I have 3 sets at unbelievable prices!!

 

Talking on the phone today with Racing Brake they really are stepping up their game and supporting this community.

We had discussed issues with the Rotor hats rubbing and they are currently in change of production to make the lower offset Rotor hats 2.5mm further from the ball joint to alleviate any issues of rubbing on the rotor.

So if anyone is having any issues with their deeper offset rotors we will be happy to send out new Rotor hats to them for no charge.

And as always we are stocked on pads and lines and rotors and ready to go!

For the remainder of this Month anyone wanting to get into a BBK from Racing Brake will get 15% off their entire order if they order a complete set Front BBK and rear Rotors and Pads!

 

That's excellent customer support right there.

Brice - Wouldn't the BBK caliper bracket have to change since the rotors sit further out?

 

^RA, I want to see some pics of your new setup!

 

That is correct!

If you need new rotor hats due to rubbing issues you would get new adapters for mounting the caliper and Rotor Hats.

Not to mention the hardware needed for the change as well!


So lets support the Company that supports our community!

 

Beautiful, where do I sign up? This is perfect timing because I was seriously getting ready to take a dremel to that shield.

Thanks also for looking into this, Brice!

 

Already have a set they sent me in stock so I can pass that along to you no worries, going out today.

As a side note THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE DEEPER OFFSET BBK KIT.

All standard Sport Rotors and Two Piece Rotors are fine.

 

Thanks Brice!

As a small token of my gratitude:

 

^ Looks sweet. Just installed my open slot BBK last weekend - black.

 

Thanks! Did you get the deeper offset kit? Do you experience any light clunking sound during light braking at slow stops?

 

PMs sent to Fluid and RA about the issues we discussed last week and how to resolve the issue....

 

Thank you for communicating me on this, I talked to Mike from Racing Brake and we are all ears.

We need to pinpoint exactly what the issue is then we can go forward.

 

No, do not have the deeper offset kit. No clunking noise to speak of.

Was at the track yesterday and the brakes performed superbly. I find them to be firmer than OEM, not softer. No fade at all. Very happy with them.

 

I already have the deeper offset to accomodate my wheels and I am still experiences the clunking under light braking....

 

heres one issue I see I have previously discussed this with RA and he too is checking the rears for clearance issues...

These are the rears, the calipers are colliding with the bottom of the bolts that fasten the seats to the hats,,,

 

Interesting!

Let me call Mike Monday or Tuesday to discuss.

 

^ Brice, any news?

 

Yeah it was an odd occurence that Racing Brake has not seen before.

"Regarding the customer with the hardware interfering with the bracket. The only solution we have is to ask the customer to use a dremel tool or file to slightly file down either the hardware, or the caliper bracket. The interference is minimal, so grinding need only be minimal. The brackets come from the Mazda factory as they are cast, with slight variations from bracket to bracket. Before this incident (as well as another incident with a 350z driver that might be related), we hadn’t heard of this problem before."

 

Appreciate the follow-up, Brice. I did confirm that the rear nuts were in contact with the OE brackets, which would explain the scraping noise coming from the rear. This morning, I used a dremel to file down the rotor hardware. Double checked to verify that everything cleared.

Took the car out for a drive. Noise from the rear is eliminated. However, I determined that clunking sound was not related to the rear interference issue. The noise is indeed coming from the front. Again, it's a clunking sound only at low speed braking. As if the caliper pistons are slamming against the rotor, like turning a deadbolt lock.

 

Another thing, are the caliper pistons supposed to be covered with a rubber cap/covering? I wonder if the clunk sound is the metal on metal, piston on pad clunk.

 

^^^ I was wondering the same thing, when I first opened the kit I was like where is the piston, after a couple secs I figured that it was there , as thin as it is though...
