Looking at those calipers it strikes me that calipers are very old school engineering. That's a hefty lump added to the unsprung part of the car, where every few grams saved will improve both ride and performance. There must be a better way.
In fact thinking about it there is... inboard brakes. I wonder why they've not been more widely adopted. Cooling and or packaging perhaps.
Apologies for the thread deviation
