Any idea if this is an lighter than the stock setup?

I scrolled though the thread and didn't see any info on the high beam intake. Did you make it, and if so, with what? Any better pics of it?

Love the parts spread!

Alright, I finally had a chance to get a lil dirty and get these new pieces in. Things went together pretty well. Here are a couple of pictures to show the grinding needed on the calipers to fit the TRM C1 wheels:



My main reason for switching brake setups was for increased pad life. On a shared track day, My Dad and I could go through more than an entire set of new front pads on the Massive Street Kit. That was unacceptable. These pads have a LOT more meat.


And heres a finished shot. The wheel studs are from Kaliboy (R3V member) and Motorsport Hardware. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=206133 It's a very nice product he supplies, the best stud kit I've installed so far.

What kind of wheels are ya getting to fit those suckers?

Dude, heres a shot of the sport kit behind a C1. Fills it up pretty well.

The sport kit fits under the TRMs! That was a big part of why I decided to pull the trigger. The calipers just need a little grinding on the tips.

Also my massive street kit has been pretty good but I just eat pads for breakfast. The sport kit has bigger rotors and 2x the pad material. Hopefully I can recoup some dough from the old gear.

That's good to hear since I'm just about to get a deal on some IE3's and Bilsteins... But I was going to get drop hats vs. cutting springs.. same difference? Better? Did you run any camber plates?

To me, it felt like cutting the spring increased the spring rate a bit and that was a good thing. I've been running some Ireland Engineering camber plates. I think they max at around -1.5 degrees. The GCs will let me get a bit more.

I've been rockin bilsteins and cut IE3s for 3 years with great success. It's been hard to justify the GCs but got a nice bonus at work. Sooo, time to do it!
