I realize you may not be able to share these details, but I wanted to get the questions out.

This is being looked at. We don't consider the Akebono calipers up to the task of serious track duty, so full-floating rotors are not a good match to the OE units in our opinion. For a true track system, a caliper upgrade is required. Look for an even larger capacity system from AP Racing in the first quarter of 2011. I would expect that the J-hook option would be offered alongside slotted only. For other than full track use, cross-drilled/slotted also works great (if done properly!). Of course, there will be a large range of pad options for these calipers, including the Mintex F3R -- arguably the best all-out track pad available today.
