Brian you obviously have a better skill set with calculations than as a food critic.

On my set up in the rear I have a 14" rotor and a Wilwood FNSL 4 piston caliper 120-11782-BK.

Hey Rob ! What are we both doing up so late ?!?!

Here are the calcs for your brake system with Wilwood BP-20 brake pads & two different M/C sizes for the rear. The BP-20's CoF curve climbs pretty rapidly, hence the difference in CoF numbers for front & rear.

I'm going to suggest we find brake pads that have a flatter CoF curve but in the .50-.55 range. Once we land on brake pads, then I'll recalculate this so we can see which rear M/C is best.
