I think he was just showing you what a 4 piston set would look like. The 6 piston is huge, and requires 18' wheels, as we discussed before. MPG are the guys I told you about that would prolly get you the best pricing on a BBK package by RacingBrake. Pete is very knowledgable.

Ben, If you would like a 6 pot caliper for the Front and the 14" rotors, that can be done anytime. Are you just looking to BBK the Front and stay with the stock Brembo/rotors in the back OR running the rear BBK with 13" rotors and the 4pot caliper as well.? MPG

I'm looking to just do a 6 pot in front and retain the stock rears.

My RS has WILWOOD BBKs (big brakes, not the mini drag ones) front and back. I like them a lot.

Front is 6pistons, 13.04" 2 piece rotors.

Rear is 4pistons, 12.88" 2 peice rotors.

And they fit under 17" rims.

I would say Brembos. They do all of the oem brakes even the higher end cars like porsche,bmw, and benz. Mercedes just puts a nice silver paint and slaps on an AMG decal.

I regularly run my EVO up to 160 and use heavy braking to stop it. Even the stock calipers and rotors are pretty darn good for a single stop. Why the need for 6 piston for that kind of stopping? 200mph sounds like it would demand stupid brakes but I'd rather invest in downforce and a nice chute.

BBKs are not for making a single stop better or faster.

Its about withstanding fade after multiple very hard stop on a road course.
