Hah it's funny I was going to ask you how the 380mm went. I live in Tacoma so I'm guessing we've been at one of the same events at Pacific/Ridge this season.

@pwdrhound any recommendations on what Finspeed to go with? They have several. F10, F110, F14, F15, etc that seem to state they can accommodate larger brakes. Any difference between them other than looks?

Thanks!

I'll be out at a couple of the Power Lunches in October at Pacific.
The 380's are great, absolutely change the game at the track, especially t2 and 3a
what do you drive so I can recognize you?

I love my F110s. Mark has F14s (I think) which are killer as well. On the Finspeed site it says which wheels are more designed towards track use, drag use, or mixed use.

For your Finspeed fix, shoot a message to our friendly neighborhood crack dealer pwdrhound..

All the finspeed 18s should fit 380mm setup fine. My ccw c10 fit 380mm setup fine as well. Even forgestar c5 fit 380mm brakes I guess (buddy running 390mm zr1 brakes with them on a corvette.

side note here. I did make 50x 330-350mm generic brake kit spacers if guys are looking for the cheap upgrade.

typically suggest sebro rotors to guys as affordable and high quaity. If racing go with the slotted. Drilled is fine for street and light track use. Pads hugely depends on use of the car.

I do canyon driving. Lots of heavy braking. I think the Sebro rotors you mentioned.

Just need to find pads that bite, generate zero dust, don't make any noise, and are cheap.

So, the $1 question is: What pads?

I have tried Pagid race pads, don't remember the #, they killed my OEM rotors in one weekend and made a ton of noise.

The spacer and bolt kit does not appear to be available on eBay any more. I searched far and wide on the web but no luck.

Yeah and Freddy doesn't seem to be reliable to order the spacer kit from either. I've tried to get some from him for awhile and they never showed up. Dave at Rennkit has his spacers but they're expensive.

Freddy is busy with his construction business. I run the Rennkit spacers, good product.
