How common are failures in high miles front bearings that are pounded at the race track with race tires on Spec miatas et al?

Now that we (more people) know the OEM isn't magically perfect (what a M.net thing to think) when will we see the first kit with 24mm discs?
Yes, I know that spoke clearance is a problem with thicker disks, pads, calipers.

As of today, we're still on target for July.
I'm going to purchase a few test wheels to check fitment. If you are ready to purchase a Gen2 11.75" kit today, but you aren't sure about fitting them under your current wheels, which wheels do you own? I'd like to avoid buying wheels that nobody cares about

I have Gen II 6ULs, sized 15x8 (street) and 15x9 (track). Thanks Andrew.

There are several new 15x9s on the market and I want to make sure I'm prioritizing my R&D dollars as well as I can.

I will be buying the kit during my winter upgrades. Probably not soon enough but I know there are a lot of 15x8 and 9 konig dial ins out there. They are like the same wheel as the avanti storms.

RPF-1 is one of the tightest fits among 15" wheels, might look into that one. Higher price tag though, so ideally you'd find an owner who can just spare a wheel for an hour.
