Welcome to the forums. Congrats on your quest. My first question would be as to why change out the calipers?

What is wrong with your stopping power now? Not sure on the history of the '92 stopping power issues, but I have a '90 and it stops well. Stock Tokico calipers, SBS pads, braided lines and the stock Nissin M/C.

Ya got me on the 3 pots, but you still asked for more stopping power. The 7 should have 4 pots and they are pretty good imo.

Now this, have you set up your suspension for the tires and the frame geometry? What are you running for tires and suspension? Stock? What are the spring rates? Were they changed during your suspension setup or are the stock springs ok? The front is diving on you from the brief sounds of it.

How do you get your hands on qualifing tires from michelin? So you are a racer I take it. Even then, you have better sources than I do thats for sure.
