    I assume you have the caliper brackets already? Are you going to run the Carbotech XP10 pads?

    These calipers are the same ones that Jim ordered and those came with caliper brackets.

    I usually run Carbotech XP10 front, XP12 rear.

    Great price for calipers with brackets. I may have to try the XP12 in front as I run the XP10 all the way around and have had no issues. Does Carbotech still offer a 10% discount?

    My parts already came in and the calipers have the brackets with them!

    Also, the Carbotech front brake pads part # is CT412, they gave me a 7% NASA discount

    Just ordered the CT412 in XP10 and got the 7% (seems they dropped from 10% in 2009).

    JG, are you keeping the same NO2 lines too? If so, where do you hide the bottles?

    I was able to try out the new brakes and tried to set brake balance front/rear. Good part is I know fronts work real well, bad part I was not able to lock rears. I ordered a bigger master for the front (7/8", I had 13/16", will keep the rears the same 5/8") to fix my issue and will try again.

    Also modified the brake pedal ratio and got 6:1 out of it by cutting 3/8" off the 4cyl pedal. The feel is great! no longer a stiff pedal!

    John,
    Which 7/8" MC did you order? I am getting all of my parts together to go with the Dual Master setup.

    Marty, not sure which dual master you have.. might not fit for your application
    In any case, I bought this one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WIL-260-10374/

    OK, The other box had all the left side hardware with it. It seems the right side was shipped with the Caliper only and no hardware at all.
