Why would you want that much stopping power on your rear wheel? The original caliper is plenty strong enough...the brembo mod is more of a cosmetic change than a performance one. The unsprung weight difference is a benefit with the brembo, but the oem caliper can still lock up the wheel and has good feel to it.

kbonarek, you're right, the orginal is plenty strong. I kind of thought the brembo would be the same or a little stronger but not in my case. It won't lock up the wheel any more.
flaya- did you change the master cylinder, or just the caliper?
Flaya.... Did you replace the pads? You should be able to lock up the wheel easily.
Yeah, after all the bleeding I bought some ebc pads thinking it would help.
scotch brite the rotor?
I'll give it a shot.
I have a 916 caliper and MC on the way; we'll see what kind of condition it's in and whether I try to make the MC conversion work as well.
Thought I'd post up pics of the powdercoated bracket. I wanted to go with anthracite (charcoal grey), but they didn't have the powder, so I went with flat black. They left the mating surface and the relief on one side bare milled.
Looks good.
