Guest XR09 Guests Posted 24/08/12 09:28 PM Share Posted 24/08/12 09:28 PM (edited) 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.

TJS Member 41 Member For: 13y 4m 7d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 17/09/12 12:39 AM Share Posted 17/09/12 12:39 AM 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
