Not sure what the question is. Are you planning to run ZO6 brakes and worried about knock back?

Let me say this first, we are putting WAY to much brake on the back of these cars. We DO NOT need 14" rear rotors with calipers bigger then a size 10 shoe. I say this because I think the major brake companies are working on a floating caliper. But I do not think any of them have anything in a big impressive looking caliper yet. Well, let's say I know they do not. We are testing a floating caliper right now but are sworn to secrecy. Since you only need 30% for the rear brakes, it is working just fine and is sufficient, it just does not look real impressive like the big ole calipers we like to see. This may be a function over form thing.

We are also looking heavily into full floaters and may be very close to something that will allow a big impressive caliper and will have zero knock back issues because of the floating design. But that is still in development and right now cost are higher then i want them to be.

So, how was that for a whole bunch of nothing!
