thanks! do you have the conversion? im wondering what type of difference in heavy braking there will be........ im hoping to do a lot of track time this summer. im wondering what the cost versus performance would be. lower lap times i would hope.....

No I am running negative camber and dont track my car so no need for rear brakes. A few others have it, they'll probably chime in real soon

Check the brakes post section. I've had A&J's for over 15k miles and many track outings and they work very well. Think there's a photo of mine there too.
not cheap but good.
Oh, and don't automatically think getting overseas parts substitution will work. We did that too for a customer but had to do much machine and fabrication work to match all the parts; there's some big dfferences between axle and US version. A&J did well; the only thing we had to make was brake line retainers for the axle. no big deal could have used tie wraps as easily.
