But without spending the big bucks, dose anyone know if you can get a single or 2 piston callipers for the rear, to maintain the racy look?
Guest Guests Posted 11/09/08 10:22 AM Posted 11/09/08 10:22 AM Brembo 4 pot rears are $2500.I dont see why you would bother changine the rears to a single or twin pot setup, if your not upgrading why bother.

I have seen those covers on ebay... dont remember how much but from memory believe they are for sale on there! Don’t get me wrong guys, I’m not being a tight ass, just asking the question?You need to remember the luxury car tax on top of the brake up grade, pushes the cost of the F6 to the mid 70K, drive away.The question I was asking is there a brembo 2 pot calliper available you can fit the rear, which is a cheaper option then the brake up grade, and paying the extra to the Tax Man!I don’t like paying extra to the tax man if I don’t have to, do you?
