i got the original rear calipers put on the rear discs, mainly to assist braking when the supercharger is on, now i know people will say its not needed and pointless but in my opinion evey little helps, and there is nothing wrong with having a smaller brake distance.

i took out the iphone with the dynolicious software on it and did some skidpan tests, i cant say its 100% accurate but i did the same before the calipers were put on and there is a difference.

Original Results with just the 4pots was

*ABS ON*
Max Braking - 0.85 G

first test was just that, to make sure eveything is zero'd in

*ABS ON*
Max Acceleration - 0.22 G
Max Braking - 0.79 G
Max Lateral - 0.54 G (Left)

2nd Test

*ABS ON*
Max Acceleration - 0.54 G
Max Braking - 0.91 G
Max Lateral - 0.88 G (Left)

3rd Test

*ABS OFF*
Max Acceleration - 0.54 G
Max Braking - 0.90 G
Max Lateral - 1.01 G (Right)

at the moment my brake setup is as follows

Front :

Hispec - 4Pot - Ferodo DS2500 - 328mm Ali belled Discs

Rear :

Standard Rear - 1Pot - Brembo Pads - Handbrake only
AP Racing - 2Pot - Brembo Pads - Standard Disc

I need to get some 1144's for the rear and new discs as im using the original ones atm and with the pad being bigger its running onto the rusted area, so i imagine its not doing the pad any good.

here are some pics of them mounted, i still need to change the colour, but im not sure which would be best
