Kinda off topic, but I just sent BrendanC a kit to use after market 6 caliper pistons on mid year sharks. New billet hat and cailper adaptors to use 12.19" x 1.25" rotors and 3.5" mount calipers on the front. Will work with the new Outlaw 6000dx 6 caliper piston which is leagues ahead of the Brembo stuff of the 90's. Lighter and runs cooler, and cost a lot less as well.

I aksed Brendan to post up the instal pics and results when he finishes.

I have yellow 6 piston calipers on my GT3.

It has the PCCB's (carbon ceramic rotors) that are 380mm diameter.

I got them Mike. And thanks for the cool blue towel rags as well.

I was thinking about the 4 pot ones since they are the same pad size and cheaper. I guess I could do the 6 pot, but then nobody would see them.

It is for all Porsches... Word of warning, if you think that GTS rotors are expensive, wait until you see the price of the Alcon PCCB 380mm replacements... Ouch is not strong enough to describe the experience...
