I was at a car show this weekend and saw this:
Anybody else seen/done this mod? Are there actually any benefits keeping in mind the obvious custom install headaches.

The most force you could exert on a rotor would be that which would lock up the tires, which you dont want to do any way, past that and more braking power doesnt do any good.
A BBK would be enough to lock up the tires so you really dont need two calipers.
Brake response would most likely be nice but as far as stopping you in a shorter distance i doubt it would help, im sure the judges liked it though.

Well with our rotors and hawk pads I can lock my brakes if I want, but of course I dont. The bigger rotors make you lose whp, so unless you are mutilap racing dont do it. I autox and after laps I tested my brakes multiple times and got 1.05 Gs (azenis for the tires). So our braking system is very good.
