Surely looks nice. Looks like the kit clear the stock wheels, is that right? How is the brake bias? Would the front be too sensitive?

Their site states a 5mm spacer is required if using the factory wheels. I too am very curious if overall piston displacement was measured between factory and these, as it's the main factor affecting bias changes. I'm also curious if the calipers are Brembo, Akebono, Advics etc. to know if different pads will be readily available depending on need.

Anyone have a link for the wilwood kit? My google skills have failed me as I can't seem to find it anywhere. I had their kit 20 years ago in my RSX days.

Also, I recall RS1 Concepts being touted here as well, although no calipers I think. I assume there are several brake kit folks out there for the G3 RDX but after having my squealing original pads and rotors replaced under the TSB, and quickly restarted squealing, it won't be Acura brake components going back on there in the near future....

Do you remember what the price of that kit was? Just for comparison purposes. Can't find it on their website anymore because its all wonky. I emailed them yesterday about parts available and he didn't mention even having that kit anymore. I think it was a limited run to begin with.

Thanks for that link. No matter what I do, I can't get their website to display the products properly anymore. But your link works perfect.
