Greddy 6-piston

Has anyone seen/used the Grex (Greddy) 6-piston front brake conversion?
I just found them on www.greddy.com and I'm interested in the weight and performance.

Thanks, Dom

Dom,

$3500 is a lot for a front brake conversion: there are much better choices on the market if you need to upgrade to a bigger front caliper and the price is in the same ballpark.

BTW, what's wrong with your current front brakes? Even if you track the car, the Brembo F40's are more than enough as long as you use the right pads. The only problem is poor cooling. Ducting will make your brakes last much longer on the track (assuming that's why you feel the need to upgrade).

No doubt. But just for giggles, what is the piston area of the greddy's?

Yes, I wasn't thinking to upgrade my brakes so far.
I do track my car a lot and upgrading my brake fluid, lines and pads is always one of
the first mods for me.
I have however a very good discount on Greddy stuff and just wanted to throw the
question in after I recognized the GREX conversion.
Thanks Emre
