[QUOTE="twistedneck, post: 14673977, member: 130159"] I went with the floating pads from Gyrodisc stock 32mm width to go with the Brembo calipers.. These are great rotors and any good fixed rotor will work well too however you are paying a price for the non floating rotor - brake knock back and not just the intermittent type. free floating helps that a lot. the main issues with brake complaints with the old GT500's was knock back feeling like fade not actual knock back. yea, that car and the new one are hard to fit brake duct cooling in stock so it did fade a little but the old school s197 flexy spindle eats bearings and causes the rotor to flex a ton moving the pads around and wearing unevenly. Vorshlag stocks those in their trailer and race teams have them pre -built so its easy to swap. new gt350 is so much stiffer in that area.. so the perceived fade and that extra wear will be gone. I also heard the taller 6 piston calipers make it worse by wrapping all the way to the top or bottom of the rotor causing extra deflection, so on a car like s197 don't use those big calipers unless you get the race ones. that's why our calipers are installed on the back of the rotor not the top or bottom, it deflects less in that area! old school setups on top make the problem much worse but still its there even with fully floating calipers unless you get a race caliper that shoves the pads against the rotors slightly at all times. only thing we can do is float the rotor and don't use overly wide front tires. the new s550 gt350 can handle 305's in front the s197 can't.
