I've been looking into this for some time now. I like the bigger piston look...ya I don't really need it...as my iron 30mm tt calipers work completely fine with the red ebc pads and slotted rotors. However I've looked into the q7/tourareg/cayenne 18z 6pot calipers that fit the 350mm rotor. They're on ebay bn and used sometimes..and I've even done some forum jumpin and seen them for 650 obo. Of course a caliper bracket/adapter would be needed to fit these and I've already found a donor car for rotors...the 370z with the sport brakes aka Akebono calipers. The rotors are 14 in which is relatively close to 350mm. Anyway you can get stoptech slotteds off ebay for 220 roughly which is not a bad deal at all. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks of this. I currently have my money tied up in parts and a car I'm flipping but I'm looking forward to making a writeup out of this. Anyway post your thoughts...I like hearing other people's opinions. :dblthumb:

So you want to spend extra money for looks?

mainly for performance...and if you consider the bang for the buck...I could push whatever amount of hp I wanted and never have to worry about the brakes not being able to handle it...plus everyone likes a little bit of "aesthetic appeal"...for example your avatar and the blinging cf exedy twin in my sr transmission...btw I started this thread to shed some light on a cheap 6 pot upgrade possibility...plain and simple...might make it a writeup when I do it who knows.
