Mike,

Something worth considering in the choice of caliper decision cycle is not just serviceability but efficacy. The OEM calipers while certainly capable of stopping the car are not as easy to work with, don't have as many brake pad friction material alternatives, increase unsprung weight etc. etc. While they worked well in general for a Sunday Go-to-Meeting car they simply are not as well suited for / matched to a vehicle with a race car heritage and even more significantly, race car capabilities.

This might be a good time to take advantage of SPF's brake R&D and step up to a more modern stopping solution.
