I've never run the RS19s, but many Porsche folks I talked to have said they had trouble with them, including crumbling. I hope you are right, I am not expecting great things from the HT10s. |

If you read the entire thread it shows that the problems in those calipers were due to bad pads (custom made) that were not properly developed for the system. That thread is an example of how quick people are to pass judgment before examining all of the facts. One person even went as far as to offer the idea of a class action lawsuit. If it were a material or design related issue, that same result would have been seen on the tens of thousands of Porsche calipers that use the same type of ceramic piston insert. |

Was this with PF-01s or Hawk pads or spec VRs? I was never able to get the PF-01s hot enough to fade (I did boil fluid a few times) and so my pedal pressures always stayed quite low. If you were fading the brakes or didn't have high torque pads installed, I would expect to see high pedal pressures and consequently higher stresses at the caliper. My track pads always wore quite evenly. So I guess a conclusion could be that the stock calipers may not be sufficient for low torque pads when you stand on the pedal all the time? I remember having to really stand on it with the PF-Zs installed. Light as a feather with the PF-01s. I've never heard of problems with RS-19s crumbling. I've experienced that with Hawk pads, though, and it is quite un-nerving when it happens going into a heavy braking zone |

Rotor upgrade
Brad from evosport says Rotora will have a 6-piston front for the stock rotors soon.

that would look odd, if you had big shiny nice looking calipers in the front and the ugly black little stock ones in the back!

Rotora
Sorry--6-piston front, 4-piston rear.

I think I've been though 15 sets of DTC70s now between the OEM calipers and the BBK, they are pretty good pad at a value price (and very nice to rotors) |

I thought you were just saying the 135 caliper itself was the wrong way to go based on the information in that thread. I believe "Frankensteining" in general is a bad way to go. Especially with something like brakes. |
