I've heard if I can fit 4s I can fit 6s but still skeptical.Would ring racebrakes but its a weekend.Here's a few pics to help: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case width is not a problem but length may be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean same clearance, just covering more of the disc surface.But yeah just buy the sixes if it's a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In comparison the 4 piston kit (with rotors) works out 2900 from racebrakes, so almost the same after rotors for 6s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
