At this point, I figured it'd be nice to inform you that the rears aren't even two-pots... they are one. It makes me laugh because I am always like, "how can these be better than the Akebonos?" But somehow they are!
How can the fronts be 6-pots when the rears on the old one's are 1 pots?

I don't know how Ford prevents fade when even the Z06 weighing a ton less, using Brembo brakes, and having 6 piston calipers up front and 4 piston out back can experience fade.

Hats off to Ford I guess. No other way to word it.
