Here is a link showing you their calipers. Their are two. Mono4 and Mono6. Both use very large pistons in comparison to what you would find on Stoptech, Brembo and AP racing brake kits. Team this piston size increase with significantly larger rotors and you have just pushed the bias forwards. Shop smart. If your increasing rotor size over OE then you want to use a caliper that uses smalled than OE pistons to retain factory bias or push it rear ward where its needed most. Keep in mind that the general term Monoblock>2 piece is not always true. This has to do with caliper construction, cast vs billet vs forged. AP racing's newest caliper offering that is a 6 piston forged alloy two piece caliper is top notch quality and construction however you will not find this kit for 5K front and rear like you would Alcon. Buying a front to rear Alcon kit is a smart choice however and I believe you will enjoy the braking performance of this set up at the track and the stiff pedal feel, modulation and release characteristics.

Thanks for the information since brakes are not my expertise. I don't have experience with Alcons street kits, only race setups. Good information indeed
