No worries. And, the current prices of the 6-piston front/4-piston rear systems mentioned above are:

AP Racing (special sale found on this forum): $2659 (front) + $2136 (rear) = $4795 (normally $5349 list)

StopTech (special sale found on this forum): $2695 (front) + $2595 (rear) = $5290

I'm not sure what the current pricing for the Brembo's, but their list is $7545 for the standard calipers and $13,650 for the "GT-R" calipers.

Hmmm.......looks like the "real stuff" is a comparative bargain right now.

I thought I knew a bit about brakes as I used to sell quite a few sets out of my old Bike shop but I have a whole new understanding now. Our options were full floating, cast iron etc etc but there were downsides to all.

I really appreciate the time you put into this thread, its informative and not terribly biased.

Thanks again! Great stuff!
