New plaid rear brake caliper looks like it may be open pot with a cover.

I will need to see for myself how well the brakes work on my MSP before I decide. My last new car was a Porsche 911 turbo, and the brakes were… well… amazing. If the brakes on my new MSP are not as good as I need, then I will upgrade. For now, I have asked to be notified when the new brakes are available.

I'd say they have huge stopping power, but they will overheat with repeated use on the track. I don't think you can get them to overheat with any reasonable use on the road.

I think the most I will ever do that may stress the brakes is a high speed run on a track, and probably only once. I will never track this car.

klwtts posted a pic of a new model X plaid (yes I know this is an S forum, but they should have the same setup) rear caliper and it appears to be a caliper cover with an open pot caliper underneath it, like the MYP has now.

If you zoom in, you can see a bar on the inside close to the wheel (open pot caliper) and the red part looks has a ledge in the middle of it, and what looks like a bolt probably to hold it on.

Its indeed held on by one tiny screw. I have been searching for the part number but no luck. Maybe the Plaid folks can provide it? Lol This is a broken one i found on Ebay that confirmed it for me.
