Dan you do a good job of marketing and selling and run a good company. Titan is a sponsor of this board, the banner should be up tomororow. Also to clarify this was not your post, I would never go into your section and solicit your customers, this was a post by a member in a general section.
Thanks and have a great day!

My $.02...
I bought the Brembo 355 mm kit from Dan at Vivid (He gave me a fantastic
deal according to Brembo) and other than what Oak describes about the soft pedal
feel, they PERFORM very well. Once again this is very subjective, but I did Road America, Brainerd and the Texas Mile all on the stock street pads (yes they were shot
after that). Somebody mentioned stock brakes and very high speeds (170+),
I did not feel like the stock brakes were up to task for my needs.
The pedal feel is softer than stock brakes with the pagid oranges that I used to run.

Marty I thought you were running stock wheels and the above setup would not fit??

Updating pads
Is it advised to run different pads on front vs back?
Example; Pagid yellow RS-19 up front 6pot and orange RS4-4 on rear.

Hopefully the orange won't effect the slotted rotors the way they do the cross drilled... I got a LOT of chatter with the OEM rotor/caliper and the pagid oranges.. I'm now running the Pagid Yellows and love them...

I run the orange pads, and don't run the shims, was advised if heavy on brakes at track you will fry the shims, downside is a little rattle but also have this with the floating rotor until it heats up, but can live with it!
I'm gonna mention this again, there are issues with PCCB's, especially over here in Europe, many failures and bigtime fecked especially if you hit a gravel trap, in most cases they would need replaced. They are a great braking system but a lot of failures.

i had great luck with Girodisc for my gallardo. its a 2 piece 380 front, but they have 365, 350 etc. all up to you. they are custom sloted and cross drilled so you can order them either way. they bite great (better than stock) with pagid 420's. save up to 7 lbs up front and 4 lbs on the rear, per corner. heres some pics, oh and yes keep your stock calipers, use better fluid and they cost like $2500 or 3k with pads.

Tom,
The factory stock 18" wheels will not fit over the Brembo 6-piston kit that Vivid sells.
My 19" Champions do fit very easily over them.
18" Factory Porsche GT2 wheels do fit over them, I recently bolted a set on and they
work!
