The calipers taco? I thought it was the rotors going floppy tortilla. My mistake, wrong mexican metaphor.

If a random engineer can model the von mises stress (FEA) in Catia, I would assume that Wilwood could too... plus some thermal analysis. They have the software and the engineering talent.
That project is what got me looking in the first place at a floating system. I like the size and weight of the Wilwood system. The idea of coning our rotors and sending heat to the hubs is not cool though.
Maybe it's overkill, but I haven't found my perfect setup yet (as far as size and technology). Plenty of great designs though tho.
