You will need to ask Dave at ArizonaZCar about low dust pads. The ones I have dust like the OEM ones.

No..he has the 13.6 kit from fast brakes. He does not have the Arizona Z 4-pot kit. If you read the thread he states it further down.

More pods isn't necessary better.

OE comes with one pod. Should the wilwood 4pod
stops 4x better? No. Once you get above 4 pod, money should
go to bigger rotor.

Sorry, Neal, I was typing in a rush. I'll try to explain better.

The difference between 1 & 2 pod vs 4 pod is HUGE, Typical 1 &2 pod design has pods (pistons) coming from one side of the caliper only, pushing only the outside of brake pad/rotor & causing the back side of caliper to passively pressing the other brake pad to the back side of the rotor.

4/6 Pod caliper has pistons on both side of the caliper,
in 2+2 or 3+3 format. Therefore, the brake force applied to both side of the
rotor are even. This does not mean more clamping force, just more even pressure, even pad/rotor wear & more consistent long term performance.

6 pods may use 3 smaller pistons on each side vs. 4 pods = 2 bigger piston on each side, the total area of the piston contact surface for 6 pod may not be significantly bigger than 4 pod. The 6 pod caliper it'self may bot be much bigger than 4 pod caliper either, therefore a lot of times, they both fit the same size rotor. Bigger sized rotor matters more that two extra pods.

The difference between 1, 2 pod OE caliper vs. 4 pod Wilwood:
1, weight savings = performance
2, One side push vs. two side push = Performance
3, look & bragging rights

The difference between 4 pod vs. 6 pod wilwood caliper:
Just bragging rights, I.E. I've got more pods that you. They weight about the same, look about the same & perform about the same (Unless 6 pod gets bigger rotor).

In summary:
4 pod 13.6" BBK set up is better than 6 pod 13" BBK in both look & performance due to bigger rotor. The funny thing is, the 4 pod 13.6" may cost less than 6 pod 13".
