the point of this being posted int he first place is becuase people ASSUME that more pots = better braking (as you just did)

why would you do such a massive upgrade (single to 4 piston)
|
if the piston area of one side of the 4 pot is less than the area of the single piston... it is NOT an upgrade in terms of force applied to pad for a given pedal force.
not having a go at you, but people need to stop and think abotu it, rather than just assuming that thigns are upgrades because they are JDM or fooly sik...
fwiw, i probably will use RX7 calipers, because for my KE15, they _will_ be an upgrade, as will the disc upgrade from 218mm (or 200mm stock) to 260mm

this sums it up.

A reply to the post :
neat info. But I'd argue that the bigger rotors would still make this mod worth while. Better braking generally comes from better heat dissapation which the bigger rotors will do. But yes, this mod should be done with a an adjustable brake bias valve to get the front locking up first again. A more suitable master cylinder might help restore the pedal pressure lock up point back to stock too.

also, here's a nice place to start.
