I don't know why some of you are hung up on number of pistons; like someone else said it has very little to do with stopping distance, ESPECIALLY single stops, ESPECIALLY in the rear.

Increased rotor diameter, bigger calipers, piston #...they all look great, but their functional benefit only kicks in when you are running your car REAL hard on a track for a sustained amount of time. They're great when you're on slicks and have really mean brake pads.

When you're on the street though, the only thing that will really make you stop faster than the guy next to you is your tires.
