Great report from someone who has tried most of the setups and used them hard, thanks Rich.
But re the 1.8kg comment, it was Dixcel who said they were looking to reduce the weight of their 400mm proposition! And you should know better than most that rotating unsprung weight is the best place to save it.

The comparison I am most impressed by is you saying it categorically outperforms/outlasts the £10k Alcon BBK. That's why I said earlier that that should make them the bargain of the century!

However, most of us don't drive our cars as if we're in Time Attack and road manners are probably more important, so it will be interesting to hear back from Dixcel users using less aggressive pads than you are.

But definitely interesting and when my Alcon 400mms wear out, I will be looking at them.
