bloody f1.8 prime lenses and their soft focus really irks me!!!

ANyway 4 pots on the back are for show rather than go most of the case

S3 calipers are all that you actually NEED combined with a decent ttrs setup up front
340/345mm on a ttrs caliper with the aks adaptors and whatever the s3 is (i forget is it 303 or 310 or 308 blah blah) will give you a lovely pedal and good even braking force which will hunker the car down into the ground.

Issue is after this master cylinder and long pedal
you'll need 6/8 pots up front to compliment a 4 pot rear. That's a lot of fluid
and a lot of cost
Once you go above the ttrs / s3 - front / rear setup the improvement tails off very quickly at great expense for that extra 5%.
even for most people on the track or in light competitions its not necessary.

notice how nearly all of the multi piston rear setups are on show cars that never go more than 30...  :innocent:
Four pots in the read make the car look well nice even of they're for show only imho but aint worth spending money on something I'll never get a return on as these cars ain't worth much modfed or unmodded.  :signLOL:

Don't be mistaken. 4pots are huge. I got some delivered today and still not sure how they will fit. Can only imagine what 6pots will be like. The stock rears don't do much compared to the front stoppers though
