The 2-piece AP rotors have been holding up nicely. I get a full year out of a set of rings, could probably get more with a bit more brake ducting. I'm not sure a full float setup is really warranted on anything other than a full-time race car. I'm willing to look at it if it is part of a package though.

My recommendations as far as this is concerned is a CP5060. Pad choices are very abundant. 18mm pad vs the typical 16 on a street caliper. The pistons are stainless steel keeping all the heat out of the caliper and fluid. I think all options are viable actually. Utilizing OEM Brembo calipers and some two piece rotors possibly full floating as well as an option for caliper upgrades to use with OEM style rotors all makes sense. Considering all angles guys so keep your suggestions coming.
