ap racing has pad knockback springs, though unless you do track the car often, there may be no need to get them. but to each his own...

tim, i believe the ones listed in the apracing website are universal. the kits they offer are specific, but the springs in the upper table are universal.

Loren didn't call you about them? They should be available in March/April.

Loren called me the other day. He said the springs would be available March/april. You will need to disassemble the calipers and install the springs and new pistons. Pad wear will be accelerated because the springs will force that pads into constant contact with the rotor.

Two springs will be available. One for street and the other for track.

They also have new rotor pins available if you want your rotors to be more free floating. Some people have noticed a vibration when braking hard and these pins will fix that. I don't have that issue though.

Also, race compound pads are now available for the 12 piston calipers and will be available for the 8 piston calipers soon.

from the FSM (pg BR-10) it should be rear right, left front, left rear, and then right front.

Wow Sean you got all the info!!

I didn't deal with Loren so that may be why. I think I could deal with the pads wearing out a little faster for a better response. I assume Rotora is the only place I can get pads?

Race pads would be sweet for track days but I will need to find some 19" race tires that can help or the better pads would just be a waste!

If you don't mind can you let me know when they tell you the springs are available?
