Mc Doo, had it not been for this site, I believe nothing would have been done. I wrote to
Lance@superformance.com directly right after the problem arose. My car was fixed 8 weeks later.
Did you read Dennis Olthoff's response after being notified of the problem. He had been working on the brakes for 2 months before I even got my car! Olthoff has probly done more testing and R&D than any one else, and if you read his test on the 4 calipers you should get it. His test concluded that the 34mm caliper produced right at 70% LESS braking force than the 4 pots you had on your earlier SPF. 70% LESS, GET IT?
Vegasmike, I don't know anything about your installer other than he makes a living off the sale of these cars. He has done ONE car with the "NEW" brakes. Which new.....the 34's 41's or the PBR's ....they were ALL new within the last few months! He makes no reference to which he claims work "for spirited street use". If he's refering to the 41's which have replaced the 34's on my car, then "spirited street use" might qualify. If that ONE car had PBR's like POORED's car, even better. But the 34's....NOT! If Gear6 promisses to set your car up right, then he probably already has a set of the 41's comming. I have a contact in Ventura who also had his upgraded to the 41's before leaving the shop.
Above, "POORED" has the PBR's and he's not completely happy. His have better stopping power than the 41's that I have now after replacement of the 34's according to Dennis Olthoff.
Answer this question, anyone......If I'm off my a** on this topic, explain why all the caliper changes in the last several months. Four to be exact! From what I understand, the new standard is going to be the 41mm at this point, and possible master cylinder updates as well. I've admitted that my brakes are safe and streetable since the change. It's all you know-it-alls that keep chiming in that motivate this forum. AND....neither of you, Vegasmike or McDoo, have even driven a new car. You're basing your experience on what, palm readers? hairs standing up on the back of your neck?numbness in you toes? Comment further when you have a running car on the street that YOU can eveluate. I'm assuming Vegasmike, that your car will come with the 41's. If it does, you'll be happy and not have had to go through any of the grief I and others have. You can thank us later!
