Anybody use Wilwood Dynapro calipers?

I saw that ARE makes a kit to mount Wilwood Dynapro calipers on 11.75 rotors. Has anybody used this setup? It seems they now have a weather seal so  the elements wont muck up the works. Will this work better on a road race application?

Who's ARE?  I think I have those calipers but they're not on the car yet.  I have the old 10.75" Wilwood kit with the billet calipers.  I would say having the seals is always better.  I would be interested to see those brackets!

I'm not a big fan of the Wilwood calipers because they have less clamping force than the largest factory single-piston caliper.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Huh! Road Race application here. Aluminum, dual piston, etc. Come on, I know Dynapros are not top of the line but let's be serious here. The clamping force may be less but heat dissapation and more even pad wear will win out.
