I called Chris at RT snd he said that the two piece 13.6 rotor with 4 piston caliper is the best complement for the 8 piston fronts. Thanks to all for your help.

yes Cary, but going with the 14'' front on Turbo u need a new wheel carrier and requireds a front end alignment after installation. that's why the list price on this kit is even more than the 8 piston 15'' front. more labor too.

Oops.. I don't think I made myself clear.... I was saying to use a small piston F50 front caliper on the rear of the car (not on the front). I was looking at your brakes on the Feb 7th event... I really like that set up.. I think I"m going to change over to it myself.. I like good bite and a ton of rear brake but the setup I have right now almost hurts when I jump on the binders.......it's just too agressive for everyday use.
