Thats some really nice stuff, PFC puts out a great product. But the question is what brand, compound, size tires are you running. Because with PFC 01 pads and 993tt calipers I can out brake my tires lap after lap. This is with 225/45/17 Pilot Sport cups up front. For this coming season I am widening my front wheels and running 255s hoping to fix this.

18x11 with 295 up front and 18x12.5 with 315-345 rear is the plan.

just gotto get me some 87+ hubs/spindels and rears so i can make the hubs and finalize the caliper adapters

I really really really hate brake fade, I've had so many days ruined over this.

think is, this should take down the weight a lot compared to stock stuff as well.

If you've got a genuine 400whp then 225's are crazy small. Look at what Hans B has on his race car that would be lighter than your car. 305's all round and slicks. It's hard to fit larger than 255/35 track tyres on our stock cars unless you can 'ease' the fender out. I'd like to have what Anders is going up to but that will take some new panels.
What are these panels and are you putting in a V8 Anders or is it a secret until you've finished?
