Car doesn't want to swap ends, stops fine, no more sticking front calipers every six months. Run stock pads and doesn't squeal or eat wheels with the dust and yeah stopping power is there. Brake bias pretty much standard by intention and careful caliper choice. It can be done but a very emotive topic.
How did you workout the bias based on the caliper choice?
The 996 caliper uses 2 opposing large pistons and 2 small pistons so the clamping force is greater than the stock caliper with a larger pad area too.
The rear rx8 setup uses the stock caliper on a 20mm larger diameter disc yet 4mm thinner. same clamping force as stock and same pad area.
The Porsche calipers look great and fill the wheel well, shame the branding conflicts with the car IMO.
Not saying the system doesn't work for you but it's not going to be stock bias is it?
Do you have ABS on your car?
