I then came up with some aditional info on the brand i chosen, and it reveald some intresting info consirning the man behind this brake name.
Here is that info i put on there.
texst from This brakeman link http://www.thebrakeman.com/calipers .
This caliper has been tested for over seven years on some of the most demanding cars in the racing industry. Designed by the most experienced racing brake designer in the United States, Warren Gilliland. """"With over 38 years of design experience including Hurst/Airheart and JFZ, no one knows more about what it takes to stop a racecar"""""". Our technical support and complete product line is the best you can buy!

most resend post i got..

Hello David,

Line pressure is determined by the input force of the pedal, times the multiplication ratio of the pedal, times the bore area of the master. It is generally measured either at the calipers with a gauge or by pressure transducers in line.
The most recent test is still confidential at the team's request, but it was against the Alcon $20,000 system.
A past test we can talk about was for Morgan McClure racing when the Car of Tomorrow was being developed. Our brake package and the resulting chassis setup to take advantage of our brakes reduced lap times by 3 seconds at Virginia International Raceway, a road course.
The oldest test data is from 2004, when an independent NASCAR facility dyno tested our F5 against the state of the art Monobloc. The results are displayed in a simple format. Our caliper had more torque, more consistent output, lower temperature, and cleaner release.

Most of the current 6 piston calipers are so large that the F5 is still lighter or at worst the same weight as all current competitors. The reduced pad wear and .980" or 1.10" pads reduce or eliminate brake pad changes, and the quick change design means the caliper does not need to be removed for pad service.

Patented Hurricane rotors are proven to lower operating temperatures by several hundred degrees, but we also have traditional vented rotors for teams wishing to use a standard design or avoid the expense of dedicated Hurricane production for their team.





Best regards,

David,
I got a wheel from Bogart today, and it clears by a mile.
-Overall clearance is good
-Offset [caliper face to spoke] clearance is great
-Rotor diameter to wheel diameter is good, so it should maintain good airflow off the rotor, especially if you go to ducting for racing use.

I told Rich we are good to go. Credit has to go to him, this is the only non-NASCAR road racing wheel that I've seen clear an F4/ 13" setup. It is also so light that I almost hit myself in the face with it pulling it out of the box. Very nice piece and very well done.

Let me know what you want to do with shipping. I can send the fronts mounted to the spindles and all the rear parts except the brackets. Or I can wait for the brackets to finish [should be soon, I gave them the final dimension last week] and ship everything together. Either way is fine with me, all together will be cheaper. Let me know the proper ship to address as well.



Best regards,

Cory Lamarra
