I can understand the need to take caution on shifting so synchro's aren't damaged, and restraint on potholed roles to protect alloy rims, but telling people to use "90%" of their brakes is preposterous since (1) there is no "brake-o-meter" so you can't tell when you're at 90%, except by going past it, and (2) it's the BRAKES- something you're supposed to depend on to get you out of trouble- not something you can anticipate to fail and get you into trouble.

Damn Jack - you blew my sure-fire money making deal by outting a source where you can buy the entire kit for $13k. I guess next time I'll have to offer to cut you in on the deal...

Complete PCCB kit (calipers/rotors) for $13,000. Sounds like a bargain.
Either that's one helluva loss leader or the retrofit kit doesn't use the same sized rotors as the GT2/GT3 PCCB brakes. Anybody know for sure?
