Thanks! I promise you it was a long path to get to the final result! lol... Still some tweaks needed to get it all 100% perfect.

Savyboy- First of all what a great car you got there, I bet its phenomenal on the track !!
I have a couple of questions regarding your movit brakes.
Previously you had the "Replacement" movit rotors that you installed both on your gt2rs and 3.8 gt3rs, how would you compare them with your "Complete Gen 3" that you have now ? I know the size difference and also different caliper but has the stopping power have improved a lot ? Is it worth getting the complete kits as you have rather than the replacement you previously had ?
The reason I'm asking as I'm considering taking the pccb off my car and go with movit.
Thanks

OE caliper flexing under heavy braking contributes to tapered pad wear. The MovIt billet caliper is twice as rigid and you can feel it in the pedal- like a rock. So there are two reasons to go with a full set vs rotors only. I am having an issue with my full oversize kit with gravel getting between the caliper and wheel resulting in wheel scratches, we are trying to figure a solution for that Was not a problem with the rotor only kit. The rotor only kit can also give some pad squeal on track, the full kit is dead quiet (although there is a new pad coming out, a so-called P45, that might alleviate the squeal). Some pro/cons to think about.
If finances allow, and the value proposition makes sense for you, then by all means contact Tom (the USA distributor) and see what you guys come up with?
After two track days use on my full kit I am thrilled with the performance. Progressive on application and release (trailbraking), same pedal feel and bite on the first lap as the last. Brake pedal is always like a rock. Very confidence inspiring.
This whole forum is bad for everyone's wallet!

With fear of jinxing it by saying it, I have yet to see a "crashed" car in three years of track events. Broken windshields, bent wheels, and some undercar damage from offs, but that is it.
Great location to have all the east coast cars trailered to in the fall for a private three-day track event? We'll rent the track and safety crew, you can camp in the paddock under the desert stars or do a hotel in Fernley a few miles away.
