there was a company that pieced a kit together. roam through the suspension area, you'll find it eventually.

I can set you up with front and rear kits both as someone kindly noted. Just depends upon what you want. *Although I've never done that shade of green....

Responsive, properly balanced and very linear in feel.

You looking for me to tell you they'll shave 20ft off your stopping distance? You'll remain tire limited no matter what brakes are being used. Slap on some R compound track tires and some Poly H pads and be prepared to tighten the belts.

no i was just simply curious as to how they compared, because the brembos are just so large and its hard to run wheels without spacers

You're speaking of 'body size'. The DP6 is a low profile caliper with only 1.64" past the outer friction surface pf the rotor. Then relative to the wheel mount surface of the hat the DP6 sits a mere .520" above the deck so to speak.

Pads for this are .490 thick like the old Dynalite parts but actually much larger in size offering an improvement in pad wear and footprint. *Roughly calculated it's 17% more total pad material.

Now if you look to the FSL caliper shod kits you'd find that those calipers which are much wider and contain a full .800" thick pad will clearly compromise the spoke clearance.
