Si's massive new big brake conversion WP 8 pots with 365mm discs and awaiting six pots for the rears.
Truly awesome looking.

ooh, interesting. Question is, how well do they perform against 6 pots? from the looks of things, and looks can be deceptive, the pots on this would be smaller than on a six pot, so the braking power might be the same as a 6 pot kit.
Do look nice though.

The do look 
It's not all about the amount of pots/pistons, but the actual clamping force from the caliper. A well design 4-pot caliper could outperform a poorly designed 8-pot. I'm not saying these are before I get my head bitten off

Hi guys!Thanks for your comments.The truth is i was down @ Crossroads in Shipton on Stour for a coupla bits & pieces when the samples arrived,& the rest,as they say,is history!As far as having the rears done;firstly,lets just say im kinda hard on my brakes,& secondly they just look the bollocks,dont they?!!!!Whats the point in spoiling the ship for a coupla extra grand,eh?And anyway,its only money!!!And you cant take it with you,can you?...er,GULP!lol.Anyway,i am a very happy bunny.They perform far better than they look (YES,THEY ARE THAT GOOD!)and as far as i am aware,mine is the only STi8 running with them @ the moment...That is until Rum takes delivery of his new STi8 on September 1st.
