Dave what size tire do you run? I'm running 245-40x17 front....maybe I should go for a little less powerful caliper than a 6 piston.

I definitely planned on putting an adjustable proportioning valve in. Ideally I'd like to see if we southern cal guys would want to rent a skid pad someday to test swaybars and brake bias adjustments.

Tom,

I have 14inch 6 piston front rotors/Calipers and 13 inch 6 piston rears.

Increasing brake performance doesn't do a bit of good if you can't put the extra performance to the ground. It makes no sense to de-tune the front brakes because they lockup to easy. It makes better sense to get stickier tires OR remove the booster if the brakes are that good.

You can't go wrong with the 6 piston setup. Just make sure your tires are adequate.
