12" rotor and 6 piston caliper or 13" rotor and 4 piston caliper??? just doing a little brake shopping and wanted to pick the mind of you brake guru's!!! any advice and reasoning would be greatly appreciated! thank you

 

Always the bigger rotor.

 

thanks man! i appreciate your input!

also, is there a huge braking power difference between 4 and 6 piston calipers? what the major differences. thanks

 

yup, bigger rotors have more surface area which gives you a little bit more cooling vs smaller ones. 4 and 6 piston calipers all vary from power from such things as like different size brake pistons, brake pads and possibly vehicle weight. example, a 4 piston may have 4 bigger pistons and is equal to the power of 6 piston with 6 smaller pistons. also consider you may need a bigger brake booster if the calipers are too big to supply enough fluid to the brakes.

 

im looking at wilwood superlite 4 piston calipers. would that need a bigger brake booster?

 

If willwood spec'd the piston sizes right you should be perfectly fine.

 

have you looked into OEM BBK kits? for example TL-S or RL? currently i got RL 4 pot for my accord instead of regular 2 piston brakes from legend GS.
with custom brakets it can be made to fit S2k im sure

 

what are some better brake boosters available that i can look into?? the extra brake pressure couldnt hurt could it?

 

can you give me a link so i can look more into this and what kits i would look for, the cost approximation, what needs to be done to make as a oem bbk . thanks

its hard to beat a bbk price of $870 with those cailbers, on 13" rotors, and lines. the reason the kit is cheao is because they arent two piece racing rotors, just vented 13" rotors similar to oem style but huge and this like the amg kits or whatever. sounds like a nice bang for the buck hit
