Is the RS29 available in the 13 GT500 front pad size?I'm trying to decide whether to do the full GT500 setup or just do the rear upgrade.
Thanks

Found a set of lightly used (10 track days) Brembo Pro Series Race calipers, do you know what pad shape these are? And what compounds can you get?

The larger calipers and rotors aren't going to affect the ride.gww52 said:I have a question for Steve and those running the 6 piston fronts.Would you do it again or stick with the 4 piston setup and why? How is the ride quality? I will be driving to the track too.
Thanks, Guy
Absolutely. There is a difference in braking power, more initial torque feel, no fade at all running super aggressive pads from Carbotech, first XP 20 now XP 24. Carbotech made the correct full size pad shape and it is much larger, better wear and heat dissipation. I faded the 4 pot brakes only twice, once at VIR and once at Watkins Glen but I think fluid played a part there, I now run strictly Castrol SRF. The other option would be the 15" 6 pot forged brembos from the Grand Am GS cars, problem is the cost is high, but you can run much thicker pads for more life and fade resistance. I put my front calipers, rotors and hoses together for $975 by purchasing the service parts before Ford Racing had the kit. I also run the 13.75" rear brakes too.gww52 said:I have a question for Steve and those running the 6 piston fronts.Would you do it again or stick with the 4 piston setup and why?
