But i couldnt have that happening again... it was not fun. When it comes to safety on the track, would you rather risk it on an STI swap or just get the brakes designed for this car by a major company that knows whats it is doing? just my 2. cents

So you were running STI calipers?

Also, what pads and fluid were you running in your STI calipers that caused you to form this first hand account of life with STI calipers on the track?
