J55 caliper specs ??
hi,
just wandering are J55 calipers 2 piston or 4 piston spot calipers ?
i saw various aftermarket brake calipers that they sell 6 piston ones as well.
is there much difference in performance wise between them all?
for street use but running a high performance engine do you really need 6 spot piston calipers if you were going to run good quality pads like hawk hp plus,slotted rotors,syn dot 4 fluid,drm bias spring,s/s lines e.c.t ?
thanks in advance.

No. Not unless you intend to run repeatedly to well in excess of 100mph and then slow to 30mph multiple times every minute or two over the course of about a half hour. Oh wait....that would be what happens on a road course
