Thomas, great piece, great price! How do you maintain the balance of front versus rear brake force? Or will die ABS system sort that out? Sorry, maybe a stupid question but I never did a front only upgrade.

Any modifications to the master cylinder needed to cope with the new calipers?

Personally I see the waste of contact area (too small pads over a well sized disc) as biggest issue with that brake.
