Allan,

Just when I thought you were 'lurking'.

Couple of thoughts on your brakes.  If your neighborhood
'expert' thinks the stock aliminum pistons were not
dissapting heat fast enough, it doesn't make any sense
whatsoever to cure this with ceramic pistons.  Ceramic is a
great heat insulator, though not very strong, and fairly
brittle.  It does not have the saem sxpansion properties as
aluminum, and the gap between the bore and the piston will
increase with heat.  First time I've heard of ceramic
pistons, but I haven't heard everything.

Do yo find the carbon metallic pads need warming up to be
effective?  How does their increased stopping capability
change the pedal load?  What does this pedal load/hydraulic
pressure increase (presumed) do to rear wheel lock-up?

Where did you get the parts.  $$$$?
