Nice write up. I am glad you like them. The kit looks quite impressive.

Were the piston sizes matched for the master cylinders? What are the piston diameters? What is the calculated impact on f/r brake bias? Assuming same pads f/r. Is there any shift to the bias? Is the pedal travel any deeper (or shallower) to account for more (or less) fluid needed to clamp the pads?

Anti-rattle clips have no impact on pad knock. To fix pad knock, you need springs behind the pistons (track only feature). Or you can prevent hub flex, but that is not a bbk feature.

There are some arguments that monoblocks are just as rigid as 2 piece calipers.

Drilled rotors are not good for track use. Were these drilled? or were they cast with the holes?

Or did you just buy them for bling? I which case they do look really good.
