If a little more attention from the community shows up with interest I will start the project and become an advertiser here so that I may start a Intro pricing kit GB or something along those lines. Right now this is a feeler and 2-3 people show interest which I am noting. Thanks for all the replys so far guys.

Your objective here is simply to pump your product, you've offerered no real information or useful advice.

Yes AP can make a great caliper, and do is Alcon, and Brembo. And the only way to save money on these kits is skimp on quality or capacity...

So if you're offering something cheaper than the aforementioned kits offered by Stasis, Alconkits, or others, it's because you're likely leaving something on the table. Question is, what? I think if I'm gonna trust my car and my a** to something, it won't be a "kit" put together who's intent is to save money...

In fact I think I can see where... 2 piece calipers, where else?... Inferior product to a monoblock forging... DCNISMO pointed it out.. Didn't Alcon run on most of the ALMS prototypes and Brembo's on all the GT Porsche's? Like him, think I'll go elsewhere too... sheesh...

A month later and I have not seen any new posts. I will assume this is a dead request at this point.

I'm interested in two piece front and rears, slotted. Can you get the Alcon rotors? They fully float but do clunk a bit at low speeds. But that's what full floaters do.

Would prefer not using Alcon. AP Has better options and makes a better Rotor ring all together. J-Hook, Curved Groove and Straight Groove are all options. The engineering is my part. What you want is up to you. Thats the purpose of this thread. If enough interest comes about then I will dedicate the time disclose some pricing and pay advertiser fees on the forum.
