RacingBrake MKV R32 4 Piston Caliper Replacement Teaser Pics

[Ryan E.]

I'll have to check on the exact sizes, but yes the pad will have full rotor coverage.

Can anyone comment on this question in bold?

[Ryan E.]

just purchased the caliper kit for my bday yesterday, going in on Saturday to test fit the calipers shown. I'm going to try their street pad (ET300) and race pad (XT960). I'll gather piston size and as much technical data as I can...

The Calipers use a M10 x 1.0 Banjo Fitting.

So you'll need new fronts, but you would want to keep upgraded rears if you have them.

I'd imagine if you're upgrading, you could sell your front brakes with those fresh lines included.

Received more info today...

Pad Update:
below is the pad that will be used with the RacingBrake caliper.

SPECS:
FMSI (Friction Materials Standards Institute) Pad D#1149
R32 FMSI #8519 = 63.8x19.3x116 (Width/Thickness/Length)
RB460 FMSI #8259 (actual pad) = 60x16.5x139

This pad is also used by Jeep and most any brake manufacture will have any compound you need (street/track).

These pads will have a little more friction area compared to OEM.

This is just me trying to wrap my head around FMSI numbers
and how we might source pads (I don't want to be forced to always go back to RB for them).

S/N FMSI D Number FMSI Friction Number Make Model Location Year
1552 D1149 8259 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FRONT 2006-2007

Even given the vehicle model info above, it's still challenging for me to find a selection of pads that I can tell for sure will fit.
