I spoke to Dave a while back about this. The rear line lock eliminated the ABS so it was a no go for me. He's said he's working on a second caliper solution, but it would probably be a while.

Yes I have the 4-pot front and oem rear. They are working on a new 6-pot front that may clear my wheels and if so I will be going up to a 6-pot front and 4-pot rear.

To clear which wheels? Stock sport 17's or aftermarket? The 4-pots are supposed to clear factory 17's but most offerings (RacingBrake, Stoptech, or Arizona Z car) don't every specify if that's just for the coupe wheels or if it includes any of the sedan wheels.

The racing brake OE/ and 4 pot will clear the factory sedan 17 inch wheels.

Yes the RB 4-pot clears the 5-spoke sedan sport wheels. I have put mine back on before. So I believe the new 6-pot ones will as well but I have requested more info from them. It will be at least another 30-60 days before they are out.

I've had the RB 4 pot calipers before and they are considerably smaller and skinnier compared to the Stoptechs and OE Brembos. Thus the RB 4-pot calipers will clear a lot more wheels than other big name bbks.

Is teh 6 pot going to use teh same rotors as the 4 pot? I was going to get the 4 piston calipers to upgrade my OE BBK, but might have to wait, if they use the sme calipers. Or are you going to sell your 4 pot calipers if you up grade?

I believe the new smaller 6-pot will use the same 2-pc rotors as the more expensive 4-pot kit. I am not sure if it will work with the 1-pc or not.

If I get this kit I will keep my 4-pots and move them to the back with new rotors.

Just as an FYI that is a type-o on their site, the kit is 13.06" not 13.6".

Very nice choice BTW, that is the best bang for the buck BBK out there.

I checked the Wilwood site, they don't make a 13.6" kit, only a 13.06" and 14.0".
