I put on the BMW calipers when I first bought my car as a quick and relatively cheap way to get the brakes working. Now I hate them. The feel is mushy and the fronts are doing all the work. That's why Brad measured higher temps on the rotors with BMW calipers at the track. The car with the stock set up was using more of the rear brakes and distributing the heat load more evenly. I am definitely going back to the stock front calipers as soon as I can get them rebuilt. All else being equal, I believe the stock setup will out brake a set with the BMW calipers.

Where is there a good source for the KFP pads and what model do you recommend for AX?
