Eliminating caliper spread, pad taper and knockback also come to mind and since the Calipers have pistons on each side of the rotor there's no worries of the slider pins siezing up. Not to mention melting the piston boots in the OEM style calipers which stink and makes a mess. Other factors influence fade as well such as fluid, the flex lines and piston material. But yeah other then that...

Car was doing a Motorcycle stoppie, nose to the ground, rear end was dancing like cold Oil on a HOT frying pan the ABS was working OVER time.

Gary of Hard bar and AP racing designed those calipers for SCCA T1 racing rules. The Calipers are close to the DTM racing calipers.
There is a thread over on auto-x and Road racing on them.
Wee bit out side my budget. at $2200 a corner. PLUS new wheels to fit over them.

Their website indicates they are $2600, plus pads & lines. In the other thread, Gary does say in post #13, "Yes, [they work with OEM rotors], but what a shame to do!"
T1 front brake system $2,600.00
This is the state of the art in Corvette brakes for SCCA T1 class racing. It includes, the T1 rotors described elsewhere in this section, caliper adapter mounts, the new AP forged aluminum radial mount calipers with stainless steel pistons, anti-kickback springs, high temp seals, protected bleeders, and many other features. This system has more features that can be described here, so please call for any further questions. This kit is complete, but does not include pads or stainless steel lines, sold separately.

ment $2600 for a front set. rear set has to be developed. Also 4 pot but differnt size pistions.
YES OEM rotors will work but not the wheels. Not enough offset.
and with those calipers, the stock rotors wont last long. Just about bite right though them.
