I shell let him give us the real tested feedback on here.

Dixcel do do the 400mm kit too but the problem is they are way too heavy which is always not a good thing to add more weight those extra weight are not needed when you already have more than enough stopping power with just 380mm disk with spec A pad.
The Alcon 400mms are 1.8kg lighter each than the OEM 380mm ones! Does that machined surface stay looking like that once you use them? Do your users only use Dixcel pads, or do all the usual suspects work well on your discs too, e.g. Pagid, Carbonetic, Carbotech?
