Would you estimate that it would rub if running about -1deg camber in the front? Thanks.

Damn, those are some nice Brembos! Amongst the "street" calipers, I'd definitely say StopTechs are the stiffest (they also tend to be heavier). But once you get into "race" calipers, that's a different story. I assume those Brembos have no dirt seals. What AP's did you have before?...I wonder if AP and Brembo are operating as completely 2 separate entities since Brembo's acquisition of AP. Is KVR going to set up the brake balance for you? Will you be running a 2-pot rear setup to balance things out? I'd like to use the new Alcon Monoblocs for a custom kit, but don't know how I'd get around brake balance issues...I don't have the resources to do constant testing. Damn, you should come to a socal meet so I can drool on your car!

surprisingly they do have dust seals. and yes brembo and ap are operating as 2 separate entities...

as for balance....thats a secret..hehehehe... i'll give u a little hint...prolly a 12-13" 2 piece rotor in the rear and i will still have an emergency brake!! terry at kvr has some ideas that'll balance out the heavy front bias.

i wish i could use a monobloc...but it has a little wider profile that will cause me issues with clearance. im itching to get this stuff done...man just had our first snow fall...

btw...i'm in canada...so i dont think i'l be showing up for any socal meets...

Wow, that will be a sweet setup. Brembo and AP both offer some 2-pot calipers that would work well w/ balancing out the setup. I'm surprised the pistons have dirt seals...most race calipers don't as the seals will just end up cracking from the heat of race use (tho, Alcon has dirt seals in some of their race calipers too).
Yeah, I saw you're in Canada...I figured it wouldn't hurt to try to get you to swing down to sunny socal so I can drool on your car.

yeah but with the brembo/ap 2pots u lose the emergency brake. the only calipers are the billets (like on the ferrari 360).

as for me going down to socal...i wish...but my car wouldnt be legal there...lol...(not to say its legal in ontario, canada)...
