+1. I run stock brakes with PFC 01's, braided lines, and titanium backing plates, and I have not gotten soft pedal or boiled the fluid, even at Barber. The problem with the stock brakes isn't really boiling fluid so much as it is the small swept surface and the inefficient rotor etc. causing shuddering under braking and poor heat dissipation, leading to overheated pads. My pads were literally smoking at Barber, looked like the were going to catch fire, and PFC's don't normally do that. Even in that situation the fluid was fine.

Good to hear that many like the 355 front kits, that will save me a few bucks in the future most likely. Does 355/355 feel balanced still? I was worried that if I did 355/355 it would be more rearward biased than it should be.
