Decent brake upgrade options?
Larry......what 350 rotor are you running?
I wasn't talking about issues (as problems); I suggested bigger brakes for safety reasons for those with higher hps. Stopping 20 feet more or 20 feet less can mean your life or someone else's life.
Both the 6 pot and the 4 pot brakes have more than enough power to lock up the wheels (or activate the ABS) so braking distance is squarely dependent on tire traction. The 6 pot brakes will not give you a shorter stopping distance. They will however be more fade resistant during repeated heavy use due to their larger effective area and they look better.
Yes you can open all the holes up, transfer tube too. I do not remember the sizes as it was quite some time ago but you can open all the holes up to the line size as the flare is what makes the seal. Jp is that 1/8 hole in the inserted flare or all the way into the caliper?
You're right... my bad.

Girodisc up front, stock rear until they crack, then Girodisc back there too. Girodisc is one of the few that retains the rear parking brake.

I second that. we have been using Endless pads and fluids on a lot of our GT-R projects and on some Porsches. The brake pedal control and the bite increases to the point where several clients decided not to go with BBK on their track cars.
Is Endless fluid compatible with other fluids{SRF} when doing a brake flush? What is the wet boiling temp of Endless RF650? What is the price delta for the ME20 pads that fit the 6 piston calipers?
Hope you get your brake issues resolved soon.

How do you like the Girodisc setup? I am thinking of changing out the pccb's for them. I am a big fan of RSS's products but brakes are big and what I am doing even more so.
