Next spring after the "BBK Subsidy" from Uncle Sam. That would be great! This thread is turning out to be great info for DIY.

I just received my AP Racing Formula BBK.
Two curious observations: 1) The pistons are plastic from what I can tell. (it can really stand up to the heat??) 2) The fronts were supplied with SS braided lines, but the rears were not -- only the necessary fittings for re-using the rear lines. Unexpected for the premium price of this kit.

maybe the plastic is used for its insulation properties; protection against boiled fluid perhaps?

No way it's plastic. It's got to be some sort of high tensile composite that looks platicky.

1) Beedub's glowing endorsement
2) Every photo I see of a race car has AP calipers more often than not, especially the E89 GT3.

you'll love them, incredible brakes, FYI did you know the mp12 uses the exact same caliper our BBK kit uses???? the pistons are some sort of lightweight metal with a wierd coating on them :-), if your going to track and track hard, these units will be everything you've ever needed, if the rear SS line wasnt included buy the rear ones from turner, their like 40 bucks, But i agree these really should be with the kit especially at its price point, mine however has SS rear lines
