"WP = Winner Power, a Taiwanese company selling "sporty" calipers, most likely designed by another company in the West, then plagierized by WP. Unless someone has evidence showing otherwise, I say you get what you pay for, which is likely a cheaply-made, flexible caliper with poor parts/manufacturer support."
OK, that might be, but it happens to be priced over Brembo and just below AP. If that's an indication of the quality I'd be happy with it. I'm sure you're not saying that Brembo sucks?
Also, just because it's made in Taiwan doesn't mean it's poor quality. Again judging from the looks and material specs it appears to be pretty good quality, but one can't judge a cover by it's book which is why I asked if anyone had experience with their products. I'm sure you're not saying that Brembo sucks?
"f you feel the need to put fancy brakes on a track car, do yourself a favor and work with a known brand."
I don't feel the need to put on fancy brakes on a track car. I'm just looking for a sensible brake upgrade to match a future engine upgrade.
"Also, more pistons doesn't necessarily mean Better Brakes. Piston Area is what's important. Basically, for road cars, any more than four pistons and you're likely seeing a brake designed by marketing guys, not engineers. At least, that is what I was told by a gentleman who owns/runs a company designing high-performance, rice-free aftermarket brake systems (he's also a Pikes Peak winner, in some open-wheeled car, so I assume he knows what he's talking about)."
I hear ya. But on the other hand I wouldn't care that 6 pistons aren't better than 4, if the 6 piston kit was performing as well as the 4 piston one, for less money.
