This thread has caused me to do more reading into what makes a caliper track more or less track worthy

Apparently, the term "RadiCal" covers a wide variety of calipers made by AP racing that actually have different features, such as being a true monobloc, anodized v powder coat, brake dust boots or not, etc. differences and caliper and rotor design mean that a smaller caliper and rotor with all of these features can out perform a lesser set with more size

The brembo GT kit that uses stock size rotors actually has many race worth features and therefore, when paired with good rotors, is a true track upgrade despite not being a flashier "big brake kit" with a giant rotor
