nobody has mentioned the problem of fade with the Sumis which i found noticeable with prolonged hard use. Apart from that i never honestly found them that deficient on the road until i changed to blues - what a revelation, braided lines were another huge improvement and then with new pads- awesome. Next step will be R6/R1 master cylinder.

There's 2 pairs of 6 pot calipers on fleeBay,
They're what i believe to be OEM Sumitomos painted like Brembo's
To fool the unaware???
Or real Brembo?
