any comparison on the weight of these calipers vs. the stock ones. I'm looking to reduce unsprung mass whatever way I can.

Is it just me or is the rear brake a floating type caliper with a cover? It certainly looks like it to me and I see no reason to pay over $1000 for it....

My question is will the car stop better than stock? Most "upgrades" I have seen post the same or worse stopping distances than stock brakes.
Just wondering how you came up with this conclusion?

it is a complete kit, w/ lines and all. It is a floating caliper, it bolts up to where the stock caliper bolts up.

Are you talking about a previous kit you used to sell that was 4 piston front, 1 piston rear?

Do you still have this kit available? Price?

Are you sure?? It certainly looks like this which says right there is a floating design
