Rather than start a new thread- will post a mini review here. Brett if you want me to move pm me and I will get a mod to move.
Here is the new Shockworks caliper ("SC") in place-monster size that shocked me.

Here is the caliper exposed with braided lines when I was working on it today after breaking in last night and this morning.
Here is the rotor- you can see it is a directional curved vane- the vanes face rear of car, and pump air from inner to outer rotor. I looked at the Brembo rotors and it has simple posts between the 2 plates- no air pumping via directional vanes there.

Finally, the weight of the OEM Brembo rotor worn was 11.95 kgs, and is worn, so for a new one round up to 12 kgs.
The weight of the 4 piston Brembo caliper with pads -pads very worn almost to plates, about 5.0 kgs,say 5.2 kgs with full pads. This included the mounting bracket.
