Bingo! The issue with the 335 rotors is the thickness. 28MM is the maximum the caliper can handle with new pads.

Hmm. I thought this is going to be cheaper than Turner Motorsports kit? From my count this is like $600? Turner's alternative is $450? I know we are gonna boast quality and all that.. but the thing is i thought initially this was said as going to be cheaper than Turner....?

Just got this info from Warren.

"Since group buy requires more efforts to handle than a regular order, also due to all the components will not be in stock for another 2-3 weeks, (yours are expedited by air), so I prefer not to count/limit the number, nor taking deposit etc which is very time consuming for us to track/administrate , so we will just offer a discount (say 15%) for the 1st tier people (place order before say 8/31), and another tier (say 10%) from 9/1/12 till 9/15.

I know some are waiting on the sideline until the review comes out, but you can assure your guys that we have done this type of retrofit upgrade with proven result, and our quality and price are quarantined to be the best in the industry - I noticed someone compare our price to Turner who selling Stoptech seal and pistons, but understand the difference:
Their pistons are of aluminum material vs. our stainless steel (with aluminum pistons you can spend another $80-100 for titanium shims).

This might be answered somewhere in the thread but just to confirm my assumptions, this solution is a package, correct? The RB bracket will only work with RB hats and rotors? Or would the CZP rotors also work?

Yes the bracket is designed for his rotors, no others.
