While beautiful, they are huge for the small pad area. I understand wanting to build with as many new Porsche parts as possible. It should be a nice car.
But those calipers look like a bad example of over complicated engineering. Four pieces bolted together, just scream movement and flex. I imagine you will get a better feel from late Model Brembos, since they have benefited from more modern materials and designs. Plus they would be even lighter, have staggered pistons, be more compact, and just look more elegant. Since he is using them under Fuchs alloys, probably, I guess it won't matter. |
