I didn't realize all their calipers were forged. I thought it was only their Trophy system.

Man, I was thinking things were working ok with the stock system and racing pads & fluid. Noticed today when changing my pads back to stock that the piston boots are pretty much toast and there are fingernail width cracks on the rotors.

Comment: Prose is good. Floating calipers FTW. Nice images!

Thanks for the article!

BTW ST's calipers are fixed; the OE system is floating.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
