No better than a 6/4 piston setup. 12 Piston would be for show purposes.

I have the 12 pot kit and it does not stop any better. It might but tires become the limiting factor and they give up way before the brakes do.

isnt the overall pad surface area of a 12 pot about the same as a 6 pot? its more of a show piece as smaller calipers are lighter and experience less pad flexing under stress.

i think the additional, smaller pistons provide for better brake feel & pedal modulation.
