Older Baer track setup,VS 6 piston setup. How much better?

[ajs1luv]

I have a baer track setup, front and back on my 68 convert. This is an earlier 2000 set up. I like the look of the 6 piston and 4 piston set up. But how much better is ability to stop? My system works well, but I dont have anything to compare it to. I know alot of you out there have upgrade your braking systems, so you would know. Help me out with so feed back! Thanks! Oh yeah, I drive fast, burn a lil rubber, but I dont track!

Since you don't get out on the road course on your car, the advantages are slim. The main difference would be pedal feel. And that depends on the rotor size and piston sizes. I suspect your two piston PBR calipers have the 1.5" pistons on a 13" rotor? And I'll assume you are talking about the Baer 6S caliper with 1.625, 1.375, 1.125" pistons on a 14" rotor?

In that case the 6piston setup will have a ~15% longer pedal that requires ~30% less effort.

The 6S is likely also stiffer than the PBR's but I doubt you'd notice much on the street.

Of course the 6S setup is beautiful.
