Hope you fix this kit before you go doing that... You need to issue a RECALL or call everyone who ordered one ASAP.

Your brake lines have a SERIOUS flaw.

I will be there with Derrick's Mazda 2 SCCA car. I am going to see if I can bring a caliper with me if someone wants to check them out. I might even bring a complete set if someone wants to pick some up.
Salut,
Austin

A link I can't access, closed or deleted I assume. Not much help.

I can no longer access it and I've been following from the beginning. I'm assuming it's closed. It would have been a lot of reading for nothing really. Mostly just bitching and opinions...

Edit... Corksport did their part very well and gave prompt response. Outstanding customer service for sure!

just tappa it in...

[evil MS3]

Error ended up being a part of the instructions that could have been misconstrued which might have caused an install issue in regards to the brake lines. Many others have checked in and their kits are fine.

You should see a new thread soon with first impressions I'm sure.

A little tapa tapa taparoo...

@caesura; @SpeedEngineer;

why the groans? shits fixed, wasn't a design flaw.

[Mistersix]

Pretty effin awesome. I definitely wanna upgrade to these someday. Is there anyway to get em without the label? I like Corksport and all but no labels is kind of an running theme with my car.

didn't realize that and thought Corksport was going to sell some to people with a design flaw.

I'm glad it's not a design flaw cause I was about to order these soon.

I can't find the template for the caliper

[6erforlife]

These look BEAUTIFUL! If they come out for the MS6, I'm definitely going to pick up a set

[Ferdball]

Bump. What ever happened to this? Swept under the rug? Or did I miss the official re-announcement?

[faeker]

Um.........its been covered. Its fine. Read up.

sent with smiles and mouth hugs

[Code Monkey]

[Ferdball]

The other thread is gone, the OP isn't updated, and I didn't see any other reviews. Or did I just miss it?

[jm211]

There was a opened ended bit of directions for installtion that could have led to issues. CS fixed it and all is good, iirc. This got out of hand quickly (bad taste from cullen's penis) imo but it was resolved.

Feel free to order.

wanted to know if you'd recommend the corksport big brake setup.

they're good, the pad they ship is meh. I felt my HP+ had more initial bite and better heat handling. I'm parting my car out though so these will be removed. I did auto-x once with them and they did fine, would again, have rather had a better pad, or the option to upgrade pads to save a little money.

[SpencerC]

You should be able to upgrade to any Hawk HB700 pad, or any pad that a Subaru WRX TR can run.

I'd contact the manufacturer or a distributor of the wheel. I did that when I bought my stoptech big brake kit and I sent them the template and they test fit it to the wheel I was looking at. Hopefully their customer service is up to par and would do that for you.

Any ETA for speed6 4pot kit?

Also will you guys be making rear pads for the speed6?

@CorkSport;

The rear pads for the MS6 are in production. I will harass the engineers today to see if I can get a more precise date for the MS6 BBK.

After looking up pad selection, the Subaru wrx tr use the same pad as the Nissan 300zx, so there are even more pad selection! And has anyone done a review on these calipers yet? They have been out for like 6 months now.

CorkSport's 4 piston brakes

thank you sir! i never really go into the gen2 section, lol. how does the car feel with the new pad and rotor setup? after seeing the people saying the pad doesnt cover the whole rotor suface im starting to think the stock rotors are to big for these calipers. especially since these run the same pads as the nissan 300zx which run a smaller rotor than we do.. think our rotors are the same diameter as sti/evo..
ms6/ms3:320mm
mitsubishi evo:320mm
nissan 300zx:280mm
subaru wrx tr:295mm
subaru sti:326mm

They work great! The instructor at Gingerman Raceway who was driving a Cayman was shocked that he was using the same braking points in my car as he was in his ride he also was surprised at the ability to toss it around the track. I asked if he wanted to trade,lol. The brakes with EBC yellows were easy to modulate and got no fade at all. I was running the oem pads in the rear at the time too.

That sounds good. So no thing with the pad not coveting the whole rotor diameter is not a big deal or an issue?

[kritz]

Nope

how does the initial bite of the corksport kit vs the oem pads compare?

Any word on whether these fit with the 17x9 rpf1 +45?
