Really the four pads are very good. I suggested the RCS because it is much easier to use on a street bike with the included brake switch. If it's a track bike, the standard Brembo forged radial would be fine. And would also make a bigger difference for less money and effort than 848 forks and brakes.
The reason Im looking at doing it cause I need new calipers. There seems to be more 848 forks and calipers available than for a 999. I figured that the 848 forks have to be somewhat better with the radial mount brakes.(stock vs stock) I can buy forks and radials for under $500.
It was just a thought.
I do 6-10 trackdays a year and ride 8-10k miles a year on this bike.
thanks for your input
