Stasis sells Alcons
I have the 6 pots up front and R-types in the back. They're probably not for everyone, but if you drive the car like mine gets driven they're a great setup.

Nope, and personally don't miss it, but
There's this little itty bitty thing in the SCCA regs for my class that says I have to have one, so I need to kludge something together, however disfunctional.

I'm 99% certain that the lack of the rear "emergency brake" will result in failing Pa State inspection, which is the main reason I haven't upgraded my rear's.

Re: Alcon 6-piston Calipers,...
These are really nice brakes and stop really well with virtually no fade. I do feel that they are a little unbalanced with the stock rear brakes. I have just ordered some Stasis upgraded larger rear disks which should hopefully improve things a little.
The other thing I would say is that really a change in master cylinder would be beneficial. The feel while lots better than stock isn't that good in my opinion. Having said that the feel of all Audi's suck. I am used to much firmer brakes with little or no power assist.
Finding pads can be challenging also. I run Ferodo on the street. For the track I have been trying to locate some Pagids with little success. I have managed to get some Porterfield R4 pads so I will see how these go.
Oh and by the way, they look really cool and everybody is always drooling over them !

Just curious if you could tell me more about them!
Hey PowerJunky,... I wanted to know what the approximate cost on them were. I've asked around and the quotes I got costed about as much as the brake upgrade OEM for a Porche Turbo,... it was insane.
Could you tell me more please? I was thinking about moving the current Brembo's I have to the rear since with the 19",... you can't see the rear brakes!!! =P I know I'll have to do something about the master cylnider, but I think I'll go with brake controllers instead,... what do you think?
Would you mind telling me the cost of them as well??? And the specs for them? I'm really interested,... and would you have a GOOD picture of them? I'd love to see,... THANKS!
