Just stumbled upon this post. We aren't sure what to make of it.
Let's face it, a review is a review. Which is to say, it's one person's opinion of their experience. We certainly aren't going to try to refute it.What we can say is that many of the complaints listed in the review we've been...
It IS bolt on if you're fine with the rotor's centerline running at least 1.1mm offset from true with the caliper. We don't consider that an insignificant amount that could simply be ignored. The reason that all the existing upgrades insist on a 5mm offset is that it's realized that 5mm is the...
Yes, we're going with the hybrid solution: machining some material off the calipers (about 3mm) and making the rest up with a spacer (about 3.1mm).We're currently having a run of spacers made. After that, we'll need to machine at least one caliper and then test fit the whole works on a...
I guess it depends on what you mean by "trade out". We sell already rebuilt, sitting on the shelf calipers all day, every day. Here they are:

Just wanted to update this thread.
We received our first batch of cores a while back. Two different guys gave us a pair of calipers each. One guy shipped them himself via USPS (for about $15 USD) to our US address and the other guy purchased a UPS label from us (for about $12 USD) to our US...
These have apparently been discontinued by Mitsu but we found a few more of them. These may be the last ones we can get.
For 2g:

Yes, you should use submersible hose. However, it's unlikely non-submersible hose would have "burst" in a short time. Unless you used really feeble, unreinforced hose, it should not rupture in a short time. How long was this hose in place before it burst? If it was a short time, you have some...
Forgot to mention there's another benefit to running EVO X rotors: they're 32mm thick (as opposed to 28mm thick for Cobra rotors). 32mm matches the thickness of the Cadillac rotor the CTS-V calipers were matched to, so there are no issues with the gap between the pads and caliper pistons.
We've looked into this.
It looks like the centerline of EVO 10 rotors would run about 3mm more outboard than Cobra rotors. This means you'd need to accommodate another 3mm of outboard movement (either with a 3mm spacer or by removing 3mm of material from the caliper). This means it's possible...
These are available for sale now.

Yes, re-use the tear drop-shaped metal plate/bracket between the bushing and the nut.
Also, for the moustache bar bushings, you should re-use the large washer-like plate between the bushing and the nut. (Though in the case of these plates, you should remove the rubber attached to them--by...
These have been a long time coming, but they're finally here!
https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=21519&cat=1760&page=1We thank everyone for their patience.
These have got to be the best kept secret in the industry. The physical dimensions of these are identical to the Walbro 190 & 255 in-tank pumps. They just pound out 350lph of fuel instead. Yes, we realize some of the new "big head" pumps are over 500lph, but that volume comes at a cost...
These things are finally available for sale.
We'll let the product description do the talking:
https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=19053&cat=0&page=1&featured=YThat product is now live and these units can now be purchased through the webstore. There aren't a whole lot of...
I didn't want to intrude on this thread with any suggestions until a conclusion was reached. I thought it might be inappropriate to give any input on a public forum. I figured if "all black 4G63" wanted my input, he could ask for it. In any case, I'm glad it all worked out.For future...
We've got pricing on the RTM Fuel Pump Sending Units.
single pump unit: $365.00 CAD
dual pump unit: $395.00 CAD
If you want the $USD equivalent, you'll need to determine the current exchange rate and do the math.Those prices are for the basic sending unit without any outlet or return fittings...
Not sure what the intention of using that rotor is? With the 1994-04 Cobra rotors (330mm) the pads are located pretty much exactly where you want them: right at the outer edge of the rotor. Smaller diameter and the pads overshoot and bigger diameter the pads undershoot. A slight undershooting...
We checked again more thoroughly and it looks like we're happy with the figure of 6.1mm (+/- 0.1mm). There's no way it's only 5mm. That's a fiction.We've decided that's too much to machine off the calipers. We've also decided that's too much to "lose" on thread engagement of the stock wheel...
Absolutely, we ship worldwide without issues. I'd guess that at least half our customers are in the States. We ship to the States virtually every day without issues.
We're doing some R&D on this brake upgrade and we've encountered a curiosity.
We've got all the relevant parts (2g knuckle, CTS-V caliper, Cobra rotor, wheel spacers) and when we assemble everything (using a 5mm spacer between the hub flange face and the rotor) we find that the rotor does NOT...
We're almost finished another production run of our famous Fuel Pump Sending Unit (for 1g AWD). We've been sold out of these for longer than we'd care to admit, so we're especially pleased to announce they are VERY close to being available for purchase once again.More details available here...
Knock sensors for 1g are getting harder and harder to find.
We sourced some a while back and we've still got a few left.Here they are in the webstore:
https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=20950&cat=0&page=1&featured=YThanks.
We find aftermarket 1g knock sensors from time to time. They're getting rarer and rarer but we happen to have a few right now.https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=20950&cat=0&page=1&featured=Y
There's no need. For FWD, our already rebuilt, on the shelf calipers are cheaper than our rebuild service:
https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=20113&cat=1835&page=1
We spoke to our rebuilder in detail about what we can expect from him, what sort of calipers are acceptable, etc. He assured us that as long as the portion of the casting that holds the brake fluid is not cracked, they can be rebuilt. (Basically, as long as the hydraulics within the caliper are...

We've updated the products in the webstore to include side-by-side photos of 1g AWD & 1g FWD rear calipers to aid in determining what you've got.But I'll post them here as well:The main differences are in the parking brake mechanism "protrusion" and in the location & style of the brake...
RTM is offering a core credit for any rebuildable 1g AWD rear brake calipers.This is a straight-up core credit. We pay $70 CDN (or the equivalent in $USD) for any rebuildable 1g AWD rear caliper you send us. YOU NEED NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM US. Send us some rebuildable 1g AWD rear...
RTM is offering a 1g AWD rear brake caliper rebuild service.
This service is for those that have been unable to find a local rebuilder capable and/or interested in rebuilding 1g AWD rear calipers. (This is presumably due to the fact that they have the parking brake mechanism integral with the...
You're in New Mexico, correct? I'm not going to claim to know the weather there but where I've lived my whole life (southern Ontario, Canada) we routinely get temperatures below freezing in some cases for many consecutive days. I can assure you that it is not common at all to have guys with...
We're having a brief Holiday Sale from now until Jan 3.
We may add a few products during the week, so check back at some point in the week.Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone.https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/home.php?cat=3635
We have a number of OEM parts that have been discontinued by Mitsu that we still have a small supply of.All of the "featured products" on our homepage are examples of these parts:
https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/We've also got a few more in our "Hard to Find" category.
We've recently added a few items to our Black Friday Sale. We've also lowered pricing on a few others.https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/home.php?cat=3505
Not sure if the images of those axles are supposed to represent the actual axles (or are just some kind of generic image).If they are supposed to be the actual axles, there's a problem. The diff end of the axles in those images is female splined. It's supposed to be a male splined shaft, no?
RTM Racing is starting their Black Friday sale early, because . . . why not!
We have a select number of products on sale and only while supplies last, so there's really no reason for us to delay the sale.
We should point out that these are not the obscene discounts where we are selling below...
We are currently considering this scenario. We have never offered this service in the past (for various reasons), but at least for really rare calipers (like 1g AWD rears), it may be time to offer it.It will take us a bit of time to work out the logistics.We'll make a post once we work out...
RTM Racing is looking for 1g AWD rear brake calipers that are candidates to be rebuilt. We'll pay $30 USD for each caliper that can be rebuilt. RTM Racing covers the shipping.Calipers must include the pad bracket.
