8Y RS 3 Needed For Brake Product Development

[Cameron@Essex]

Hi fellow quattrophiles,

Essex is hoping to borrow a new 8Y RS 3 from some lucky owner, so that we can test fit and develop brake upgrades for the platform. If there's anyone out there interested in upgrading, and within a reasonable driving distance to Charlotte, NC, we'll make it worth your time.

Offerings will be AP Racing by Essex Competition Brake Kits, Ferodo Racing Brake Pads, and Spiegler Stainless Brake Lines, similar to what we did for the previous RS 3 (https://www.essexparts.com/my-vehicl...20Front%20Disc).

Feel free to delete my comment at your discretion but I don't recommend it. Credit where credit is due. Here is what YOU and the readers must now:

I have been participating on road courses (6 times now since June 2022). I met this guy on a new Supra, his name is Will. He went high end on the bolt ons and one of the things that he added was the AP pro 500R on his Supra. He was telling me that the brakes alone shaved 3 full seconds.

He races with me on Time attack at Musselman racetrack (we both live in Tucson). He described to me that the brakes alone were single handedly perhaps the most significant improvement of all his mods. He has the third best track record time and closing in on the second place. not only that, the two other cars that run slightly quicker are trailer cars (2600 lbs C6 Z06 with lean windows, no seats, etc) and a Caterham 7 kit car on full slicks.

If you need his full name to verify my history I can provide it to you. We are both registered on several racetrack events on race hero website so I am very transparent and reputable on what I am saying.

I think that your products are incredibly good. Your vehicles are the pinnacle of brake standards.
