WMS 4-pot brake kits

[seaneyb]

sounds good i might be interested depends on what job i get as i may have to sell the gt to get a diesel ||

how much bigger is the piston diameter compared to the 4 pot?
as for looking into price further let me keep that as a rough figure for now cheers

It's less...

6-pot pistons are 1.62"/1.12"/1.12", making an increase of 13.6% over the GT 54mm piston caliper.

4-pot pistons are 1.62"/1.75" making an increase of 25.8% over the GT 54mm piston caliper.

Well if the 6 pots are worse than the 4pots there's no contest lol

It's not quite that simple - the bigger the pistons are the softer the pedal (all other factors being equal), basic physics/engineering sadly.

However the T30x is stiffer than the T20 (at a price), and the T60x is also the stiffer bridge type but with the extra pistons you get the force spread even more evenly over the pad.

The thing to remember is that the "base" kits (284mm T20) are such a leap in performance over the Fiat stuff that once most people own them they simply don't want/need "more".

We're all about "bang for your buck" (value), and won't try and sell people stuff that's over the top - that wouldn't be cricket! :-)

If the 6 pot pistons were larger than the 4 pot pistons, do you realise how mahoosive the caliper would need to be?

Also the pressure is applied more evenly, meaning better stopping power

Edit

^^^ what keri said lol

[PuntoGTturbo]

LoL 6pot? I dont think the master cylinder will cater for such a big caliper!

ive got 8 pots under my kitchen sink, beat that
