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!
Well Frank I'm in deep on this one I purchase a complete ZR1 setup from Mark Stielow awile back. So I think this falls into your way to much brake quote. I did'nt know if someone was coming up with something to get this setup to work better? Is this deal your working on something that will alow us to use our current calipers??
