6 Pot Vs 4 Pot

Both have the same rotor and bracket. If the rotor was bigger then a bigger bracket would be needed...simple.

The 6 pots have a bigger friction surface... = more heat.

The paint is farked on the top front on both sides of my calipers from getting very very hot.

you could be right but acording to this review, it says other wise lol

this would help lol

No worries.

However,

The brake stats in this review are incorrect.

If you want accurate brake info, speak to Matt at Racebrakes in Sydney, or ask a question in the Brake forum here.

Don't rely on Motor-Journo's for anything other than their opinion.

They will both pull up the same under emerg conditions. The 6pots will just do it more before fading. I have an F6-E and have driven plenty of std F6s. I have faded the 6 pots plenty of times so even they don't stack up against a racing setup - fluid and all.

The 6's do. however, require less pedal effort which could result in them seeming more effective in a one-off situation. Also, the stock pads in my car were sh!tful, dirty and poor in the wet. Replaced with Hawk Ceramic - much better.

Finally, tyres & shocks will play a bigger role in quick stops than the calipers. If you still have the Slumlops then serves you right and you ain't never gonna stop really well regardless of your brakes...

Finally, finally, if you want to upgrade then stay away from Ford and go to Vsport. There are even better 6pot setups avail brom Brembo (they have a few) and you can go up to about 380m discs too if you are really keen.

But seriously guys, if youy have already got 4s on the front, spend the money on something else that you are going to get something noticeable from - like engine, or shocks/springs/tyres/pads or tuning.
