It's interesting the two setups use different part numbers for the rear hoses, because they appear otherwise identical. The J6H front rotor shield is even smaller than the J6M's already minimal shield.

Pedal feel during the test drive felt identical to the J6M's, unsurprisingly. I'm looking forward to less than 450°F caliper temps on-track this year.
Hey Ryephile, did you ever have to change the piston seals for your J6M setup? My mechanic just told me my seals have melted a bit, which caused slight change of the piston position leading to the uneven pad wear. I can’t find any replacement parts for the 1le brakes though :/ Did u have the same issue or did the seals survive the high temps?
