There would also be less chance of brake fade (if you use the brakes on track) due to greater heat dissipation across the larger caliper area. Last but not least, as the new calipers are made from aluminium you would also reduce unsprung mass. The drilled, slotted and vented design of the disks also offer advantages over the original plain face vented disks.The only drawback about the kit is that the supplied pads are not really up to standard, for the brake kit to really come alive is to change it to Ferodos or Pagids</blockquote>
