I think those brakes should be required as an option when anyone gets a supercharger for their H2. That thing's a beast and I'm sure those will haul down quite nicely. Those race brakes are insane! Those rotors look like some kind of carbon or metal composite.

umm.... duno, somehow i think it looks aweful..... the shape is just funny.... but don't get me wrong, 8 pots, definitely baller act there i guess eveyrone is jumping on it now, rotora got it and now stoptech has it (but the shape is very different for stoptech)

actually if you go to m5 forums or those high end car forums, you can see people with brembo or ap racing 8 pots here and there. i have seen some m5 and s600 with 8 pots setup, they are damn nice. and with 15" rotors that's just sick

oh btw, heck even the e55 from factory already has 8 pots setup with 14.2" rotors in the front

Rotor surface area is usually more important than the number of pistons. I have Baer 2 piston front brakes, but they are 13.5 inch rotors... my stock brakes were 2 piston front, in fact, were very similar calipers, with 12 inch rotors... but the new brakes stop a ton better.

yes definitely. the larger the rotor, the larger the leverage force it can apply on the brake system to stop it
