My comment on the larger rotor was probably not put the best. I mean I'm using a larger rotor... not larger BB and MC.. the BB and MC are just new aftermarket units spec'd out for my needs. Also, I'm referring to the parts being 20+ years old and believe it or not, braking systems have come a long way in 20 years besides just "pad material".. and dont quote the term "20+", last I knew FCs started in '86 thus 2006 would make them 20+...

Then I think you need to brush up on your English, cause what you wrote and what you're saying now are two different things.
If English is not your first langauge, then I'd understand that bad grammar.
The only way we communicate with each other is through typing (English); if you have a problem corresponding as such, then that just creates problems after problems.
Reread what you wrote: you did say "20+ year old TECHNOLOGY."
Mightly convenient that you left off the last word above...

Please remove yourself from the pedestal you put yourself on - I am not attacking your knowledge as I definitely feel you know your way around the 7s, but your just as "qualified" as myself when it comes to forum discussions.

See above.

I'll build my brake setup the way I want it, just as Chris W will build his the way he wants it. You're so eager to attack somebody and on all the forums I've seen you on, you manage to bring a bit of negativity and arrogance...

I've got nothing against you spending your money on how you see fit.
Spewing misinformation is another thing...
Some of the crap being typed in here can be downright dangerous.
Misinformation like this can get someone hurt or even killed - this I got a very big problem against.

Negativity?
We were having a constructive critical debate until you started to place labels on me.
If you've got nothing helpful to offer, then I'd suggest you STFU.
You want to brag about how YOUR brake kit is going to be built, I'd suggest you start your own thread.
You have a PERSONAL problem with me, keep it out of the thread - that's what PM's are for.

The building started in 85, but there were prototypes/technical crap going on for years before that. Likely the braking system was probably finalized in like 83 or 84.

Regardless of all the other talk, I've NEVER had a problem with my 22 year old brakes. This is even including the fact that many of the parts are stock. I can still lock up my brakes on command. Granted I don't have the best tires, but assuming my system was 100% operational back to stock specifications I don't see there being a problem unless I have a giant tire (assuming that would matter?).

However, I've never tracked my car so I'm not qualified to speak in regards to heat, but from what I understand, the 4 piston/vented rotor combination is way over-engineered (just like everything else on the car).

I can speak from experience on the track capabilities of the stock FC brake system with braided lines, Motul fluid, racing pads, and 3" cooling ducts on the front only. The system will pull the 2500lb car down from 150 mph to about 40-60mph twice a lap(Daytona 24hr course) over and over again with no problems and do it for 30 minutes without fading.

I like the look of big brakes too, but I'm only willing to carry what I need on the race car. Beware of unsprung weight!
