I have not tested it in actual ft per stop but it is not a substantial differance.
at $479 it is a lot to spend for a minor upgrade. Sorry, but it sure looks good.

Chap'

Check to see whether your steering knuckles are castings or fabricated. The fabricated ones have intermediate bolt-on caliper brackets.

I've tracked my ERA (154) with the Camaro brakes and found them perfectly acceptable with adequate stopping power. A multi piston caliper generally gives you more control over 'impending lockup', thus you can modulate\control your braking to a greater degree.

If my calipers needed changing out I might consider something new, other wise, I'm good to go!

I think they are castings- but will double check. Thanks.
