I have AP 6-pot with hydraulic actuation - it's very good, but I don't go launching (which EATS the clutch) .

WOW, that be well trick in it, so where and how did you fit an AP 6-pot caliper in there Mike?

On a serious note, is everyones 6 paddle a rigid or sprung plate?

ps. how much quicker is your car around the 'ring with the new engine, hope alls going ok?
