Nice results for sure, but you cannot tell from that how they would stand up to track abuse. I am cheap so will probably try this approach though. :D

What pad type do these use and are they available from all the big brands?

One of my favorite sites to surf and make imaginary shopping lists. They have some excellent carbon fiber bodywork for sale within the last two years.

I believe it's a standard Corvette size.

Alcon was indeed making some calipers for Baer several years back, and I believe it was their high end pieces only. I don't believe they are doing so anymore though.

This still looks pretty good and will be added to my short list when I come to upgrade my brakes.

The main point is cost shipped to Australia as we get reemed hard on anything over $1000 (thanks ATO!)

I'm going to wait for the Wilwood kit They will use iron hat rears so the E brake still works. I had thier brakes on my 383ci Monte Carlo S/S and worked just fine on open track days @ Firebird.

what are you paying and where are you getting the wilwood? brakes are my next purchase, just did coilovers...
I'll be at firebird this weekend, with my m3! Member appreciation day, gets you to the track for $40 all day long. No transponders, but who cares. I miss the BRZ, but its well worth the wait.
