I'd bet a lot of the "custom" brake pad suppliers can do it. Carbotech for example.

Default Who is in the shootout? Do you know what they are going to test for?

I wish the shootouts concentrated more on multiple stops. Pretty much all quality brakes will give you an improved stopping distance mostly because of the improvement in control because of better pedal feel. What really separates the kits is repeatability; how many back to back full power stops can be done. Even stock brakes have a pretty good initial bite. The metallurgy in the rotor and how well the directional venting works makes all the difference a quality kit will give you fade free back to back stops. Most of the brake shootouts I see concentrate on the distance of a single stop. I would like to see 10 back to back stops with full throttle acceleration between them. The stopping distance on the last 2 or 3 stops is where the real difference is.

Default Nothing like that. M power this! (Alcon), CHRG IN (Stasis) and I (Brembo/ECS v2.2) and

Evotech (BBK?) are getting together this weekend, hopefully get some canyon runs in. Not a planned "shootout", just goin' drivin...
