To clarify, I believe the primary benefit of this is to reduce/eliminate pad knockback, correct?

That is my understanding. The thing is that the BBK comes with 14" discs vs the smaller oem so relocating the caliper may help the knock back with the 6pot 14" combo but not as much as a relocating the stock brembo on the smaller disc. All depends on how the rotor tracks through the caliper and leverage applied.

Basically what i'm saying is that any knock back prevented with the caliper/bracket re-location maybe negated by the size of the rotor and psiton position. This also assuming the oem caliper vs ST caliper are the same stiffness.

Would be awesome if a owner who has the oem brembos who suffers knock back upgrades to this trophy kit reports his experiences.

You do understand this is a relocating kit for Stoptech ST-60 brakes made by Stoptech themselves to relieve knock back in their upgraded trophy series not for any other brake system

Got some other stuff being done... So, won't get to test them out until sometime in January. Glad to see the stock brakes go!

I'm glad I don't get pad knockback. I don't understand why some get it and some don't.
