Over the past few years, its seems like more and more regular cars have multi-piston brake calipers like the new subaru impreza. 10 or 15years ago, even performance oriented cars didn’t frequently have those until you went pretty far up market. And it doesn’t seem like it is for marketing, since it isn’t often advertised. If single piston calipers were good for an audi s4, why does a new subaru impreza need multi-piston calipers? have there been developments in cost or technology?
I just discovered my '09 Lincoln Town Car has huge two piston calipers in front. It’s a 4300 pound barge. It needs the stopping power.
I can speak to experience that panther brakes are absolutely nothing to write home about. A 4000+lbs car with 12" rotors up front and I believe 11.8’s in the rear.
I went with 13" wilwoods all around, 6 piston up front 4 piston in the rear.
