The only thing stopping me from jumping on your brackets is I have a self made set-up already. I have over $500 in it. I had to leave them on the shelf due to a track width change that made these illegal as I used 1LE rotors to make them. I will need to cut down a set of non-1LE disc's to fix that issue. So another $150 in machine work and I can run them. I need to check to see if the inside of the StopTech hat has more room for a larger diameter hub flange as I need more material to help stop the ARP's from cracking the hub when I press them in. I may just need to increase the hole size for the stud as well.
I kept seeing Dan break rotors w/ his StopTech's. This also has me worried. That is an expense I can live w/out. Are Dan's failures a result of using OEM hubs?
I talked w/ Danny P at Carbotech today. He is still shocked I'm running the XP10's w/ this car. Not sure why as I don't feel like I'm giving up anything running them. He wants me to try the XP12's, but I don't want anymore initial bite and I don't want a pad that will eat rotors. I'm hoping the brake upgrade will just make the 10's work that much better for me.
Dan did not have time to install the new hubs before Hallett. His failures have all been factory style hubs

I'm prepping to order another run of adapters, as I've sold out. If you're interested, please contact me this week. The lead time should be about 4 weeks (machinist said 3, but he's always a couple days late).
The cost is $475 for the adapters, bolt kit, and shipping anywhere in the US. Only thing not included are the SKF hubs. I recommend buying those here for $350: http://www.eastcoastsupercharging.co...ategory_id=197
Please spread the word, as I'd like to pre-sell most of these adapters. contact me via email jim [at] design-base.net

That's my ride and they were installed Friday evening-100% bolt in without any issue. Noticeable difference of reducing or possibly eliminating pad knockback. Hard for me to say since I'm so used to tapping the brakes constantly around the track due to knockback. But I'm pretty certain there were times I never tapped them and didn't have any issues when coming to braking. That was never the case before. This car suffered less than the black car from knockback and I'm thinking it's the stoptechs.
And oh yeah-I picked up about a second per lap! Awesome piece of equipment Sean. I'm looking forward to more testing and checking and will update. Thanks!
