why must I call for pricing on the Calipers only?
I'm not sure I believe that loosing 1-2 percent bite in the front is a good thing

This might be just what I'm looking for. I felt like my car's weakest point this weekend was the braking (besides the driver), so it's time to get serious about my brakes. Here is my thread that led me to this thread: Suggestions for braking and aero.
I do have a few clarification questions - who could I speak to on the phone?

Thank you very much.
We will post our STi results here as well. Paul is out of town for a week so I only have some limited pictures but here is the summary.
2008 STi track car. Bolt in cage/no AC/semi-stripped w/ cooling/suspension/safety.
Conservative Power - 275 WHP
DOT R-comps - (Hankook slicks)
We ran TrackDaze at VIR - 4-30 min sessions - 90ish degrees and Paul is in the advanced group. He can turn about a 2:13-14 lap now which if you don't know is C5 Corvette territory.
Braking was 100% consistent both days.
The pads are 0.800" thick new. Wear was pretty low - I'll have to measure but certainly looked lower than he was getting w/ the OEM Brembo's. More surprising to me was that the rotor showed no heat checking yet.
We'll add more later but I'm pretty impressed given the relative size/weight reduction and cost of ownership.

We finally wore out a set of pads.
With mixed use of Hankook slicks and summer street tires at VIR and CMP we got about 9ish hours of track time. Pretty impressive for a measly 4 piston caliper with a 325mm rotor.
The STi kit is being released soon as well.
This kit should fit most 17" wheels.

Call 704-824-6030 and ask for me, Jeff Ritter. I have an appt. this morning from roughly 9-11AM, but I should be in the office during regular business hours the rest of the week (8am-5pm EST). I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have. Thanks.

Hey Evo track junkies, I'm trying to get Jeff to run a sale to get these brakes on more cars. If there's any interest, please email Jeff at jeff.ritter@essexparts.com to let him know. There's already two of us that are interested
