Thanks @steveespo , it looks like that 802 I edited in later is the 4 piston design?

Other than the Cortex cambered solid rear axle (~$6K + brake options) none that I am aware of.
Thank you for the feedback, unfortunately, this is the Cortex response
"Unfortunately the GT350 rear setup will not work. There are some specific packaging limitation the biggest one is the need for a real deep rotor hats. Usually they need to be around 50-60mm deep.
Buying beyond that the GT350 rear brakes would not be my top choice for rear brakes on a S197. They are too large and our testing on the Gt4 program has proven that any rotor larger than 328x28 has no benefits and is only adding weight. In fact, even the OEM s197 brakes when used in the S197 with the superior stiffness of he CV Cambered axle work very well on serious race cars. We do have a number of brake packages we offer that are listed on the CV axle webpage.
Best regards,

Since I am only really interested in staying with OEM options, I will likely remain with the GT500 rears and look at different rotor options. Sadly, with such a short production run the options are pretty small (3-5 options from my research)
I didn't take pictures, but I got the caliper last night. A beast compared the two piston slider I have for sure!
I've read in this thread that the banjo bolt is known to break off in the caliper, the one that compes with the Stoptech stainless lines. I noticed the stoptech banjo bolt is a shorter thread bolt than the standard length. I checked how far a more standard banjo bolt will go in with and without the hose just to see how far frmo bottoming out I am, and it appears that the longer bolt that is more traditional bottoms out about 1/4 inch from hitting something solid in the caliper, with the copper washers and hose installed to put everything where it should be.
As long as it can push fluid into the caliper, how far it is into the caliper shouldn't matter, correct? It's just a little bit annoying long to thread in and out of the caliper?
That's good to know, I had been considering that along with their floater axle (I have a spare set of GT350 rear calipers). I thought initially they'd offer decent pad life.
Will these clear both stock Boss and 18" GT500 wheels?

Correct. You want to make sure you have enough thread engagement with the lug nuts.Vorshlag is saying I must use longer wheel studs with a 5mm spacer.
Mad Hatter is correct. Especially if you are running wider & stickier tires.Yes! but I think more to the point,,,, do not use the stock studs at the track
