For those of us who don't go in a straight line, we badly need to keep those rotors cool.

From looking at Tim's site, I don't think his kit is completed. He is still trying to figure it out.

It's done he just hasn't updated the site. Shoot him a PM and I'm sure he'll get back to you.

I have not had any problems from excess heat since I went to the TCE brake kit.

Nope. Not done yet.

The hangup has been:

1. Getting off my lazy *ss
2. Locating some of that double-wrap black neoprene tubing.

With the Brembos, I have never had any overheating either. But I have not REALLY used the brakes yet on a road course. Since I'm still a novice, I try to spend more time finding the right line and being smooth and less time trying to rip down the straights to make up for lost time in the corners.

Since the racing season is starting back up now, I expect to have the system finished soon.

Thinking of running the Open Track Challenge this year.
