6 piston caliper to suit 330 x 28mm disc

[Ivan Vella]

Does anyone know of a 6 piston brake caliper that would suit a 330 x 28mm disc rotor other than Wilwood?

I have purchased front brake rotors but to avoid problems with brake balance (the rears are 4 pistons) I would like to get 6 piston calipers for the front.

I have no problems machining custom caliper brackets if required.

It is to go onto a 69 camaro running 2" drop spindles and Rushforth X rated rims.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The issue is not just the number of pistons but total piston area.

Andrew is right.

Regardless, these AP calipers *may* suit your needs. They fit your rotor diameter and thickness specs.

X2 about Andrew being right, we need more information. What's the application? What size rear rotors are you running? What is the rear caliper piston area?
