Gaging interest in a replacement six piston Evo caliper!

If so then I might be interested.

Does the car need that much more front brake bias??
Won't that much more piston area greatly increase the brake torque to the front wheel?
Good idea to fit it up to the stock rotor - just under 13" is not a small rotor

Zeus,
I think once the caliper is available you will find more interest. To bad, cause right now it sounds like you are looking for some input.
If you really can get a manufacture to come up with a caliper that performs better than the stock brembo you will really have something pretty great. That and the fact that it is designed for a 17" wheel is a big deal. Once you look into bigger brake kits things get expensive fast. Wheels, tires, on top of the brakes is a big ticket. And 18 inch race rubber is a lot more money than 17" stuff.
I'll just throw out this question, I suppose because of space considerations, but why arn't calipers finned for cooling? For that matter why arn't the spokes of wheels bladed to throw air on the disks?
hope to see them soon

Some aluminum calipers are finned - look at Z32 calipers, PBR's (Vette). I think thats more for strength though.
Interested, but concerned about pad availability. I'm thinking that more serious track guys are going to want higher-end pads (Hawk blue, Ferodo, Carbotech, etc.) for track abuse.
Also, when they do testing, have them check that the new calipers clear the optional
brake air scoops.
