TYPICALLY 6-piston calipers may come with bigger rotors, but that doesn't mean that the 6-piston design is doing anything to increase the heat-soak capacity of the braking system. Also a 6-piston caliper may be larger in size and mass than a 4-piston caliper, which may have a small affect on fade, but that's ONLY because it's bigger NOT the design.
You just want the 6-piston brakes to be a badass, just admit it... |
PFftttt..
6 pistons....
