Fellow NSXrs. I was wanting to say a few kind words about my most recent interaction with Andie Lin of Cobalt Friction Technologies. I had inquired about upgrading my rear brakes, as I have the Movit front kit on the car. I wanted a larger rotor, but really didn't want to sacrifice the e-brake and swap calipers. Also, due to my vanity, I wanted a cross-dilled rotor that was similar in appearance to the Movit fronts. With the stock rear brakes on the car ('91 NSX), I had a bit too much front brake bias. True, I could have added a proportioning valve, but Andie hooked me up with a Tarox rear brake upgrade with 14" 2-piece rear rotors, adapters and replacement lines. This kit works well in that it retains the E-brake, but gives me a much larger swept area for rotor surface. He also made some recommmendations for changing pads to Ferodo fronts and Axxis rears. With this package installed on the car, the braking bias is perfect. I haven't had it on a track yet, but if the package works as well as it does on the street, I'll be quite pleased. On a personal note, Andie kept me appraised the entire time of shipments from Tarox and shipping to me from FL with tracking #'s. He even called me to ask me how I liked the setup once it was installed. In these times of people complaining of vendor after vendor, I felt it was worth shedding some positive light on one of the good guys. Here are a couple of pix of the kit on the car:
