Hey man, I like getting greasy like the next guy. It's just a little embarassing having greasy finger nails when you are supposed to be a professional.

It's available in 3 piston volumes. The smaller calipers have 2 pistons while the largest is a single bore. It's floating so no pistons on the outside.

Great upgrades and I hope it cures the problem Todd. It's a floater so it should. Good looking caliper IMO too. I also would think 3 laps around RTTC would not create a heat/brake fade issue, but longer sessions (20 min SOW) maybe?

Gaetano should chime in here; he told me his rotors 'pop' during cool down sessions...

It's all speculation at this point. All I know is, anything is better than what I had.... Until you experience serious knockback on the track, it's really hard to understand. It throws off your timing and greatly decreases brake performance. I still think the fronts will fade before the rear. Remember, braking is 70% front, 30% rear. I don't have any intentions to run past about 15-20 minutes on an open track. My car simply isn't engineered to go any longer than that anyway.

Hopefully this fixes your brake problem. Good luck!

REALLY?? That's never been an issue for me...



EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA

We really need a few more smilies around here...

I hope it works out for you Todd, you put plenty of work into getting it right. Are those calipers comparable in size to the regular C6 calipers?

Well I welded in my Airbar and now you have me all freaked out....thanks

Was the plate welded all the way around the perimeter or just in certain spots? I noticed that the bolt holes were open....

The Airbar is a bolt in deal too.....its held in by 10 self tapping bolts....

I'm no engineer, but can anyone honestly tell me that 10 self tapping bolts into thin ass original frame rails would have held up any better? I would think that they would have just ripped out of the frame

So....looks like I'll be adding some extra support.......

You'd have to actually drive it... and have 600+ HP.... and big azz sticky tires... and track the crap out of it... so if you have all that going for you... then you "might" break your frame.
