No doubt....but I don't track the car, so that's over kill for me. What I need is just a bit more stopping power to match my HP on the street. I also have upgraded Performance Friction pads as well.

^ that "bit more" should come right from the dual piston calipers with the stock front rotor size.

I just really love the dual piston setup :D

Those brakes will do *OK* on a big track with a LONG front and back straight like Willow, where you get some *cooling* down the straight..or a even short road course, where you don't build enough terminal velosity. But...they WILL fade with enough laps :( ..I know, since I ran the big track years ago with the Porsche Club. The biggest KILLER of brakes was LAGUNA SECA :o :o :o that sucker will chew up your pads and spit 'em out :wink:

I agree..but I can do Gabe's Deal for a TOTAL of $250...out the door.
What the hell...this car never sees braking from 100+ to 30...with repeated lapping. So anything MORE is over kill. I mean....I've had the SC with the stock brakes FOREVER and never had a *problem*. Let's face it...if you don't track the car...you DON'T need a mega brake set up.

ah ron heres the short track, many corners, lots of hard braking, also over a hundred in turn 1, and and about a 100 coming to the shacane, no brake problems at all, maybe its the way folks drive, because i havent had that issue, and i drive like the wind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Po1m8jEhA ................ :drinking:
