[QUOTE="Cobra-R, post: 382002, member: 52"] To be honest, my comment was kinda tounge in cheek in respect to being able to make a judgement between brake kits based on looks. If I offended you, I trulely apologize. I was not trying to demean you, but make a point that brakes are way more complicated than alot of people realize and can't be judged on few peoples opinions or observations. Most of us could put any one of these kits on our cars and "think" they are the greatest thing in the world, but until you compare systems on the same car, with the same tires, with the same pads, ect, we really can't tell what is good and what is better. My direct experience is limited to Brembo's four piston kit and the stock PBR brakes. Part of my point to 351 was that pads make more difference (on the street and light track usage) than which kit you use. I agree that spending $5000 for a brake kit is pretty steep and there are better alternatives for people at our level of driving (ie: not racers), but spending $1200 for street duty is also overkill to the Nth. degree as well. olchakla, That melting is normal and is going to happen on any caliper exposed to the temperatures encountered on the track and hard street use. My brembo calipers are melted also, they are just dust boots and does not signal a caliper is failing. Race calipers arent equipted with dust boots, thus no melting. Brian [/QUOTE]
