Is $600 too much to pay for fron calipers and pads on the 996TT for the BIRA 6?

Are you willing to share the IGES/X_T file? I'll donate my skills doing ANSYS FEA if it helps.

like posted before k sport makes a kit for A8 11" to 16" discs and even make a hydraulic handbrake if you want to have another rear disc caliper upgrade.

i should be getting mine for 1875$ 13" and track and street pad included,with 8 pot calipers
