Upgrading custom 6 pots..

Just dropped my Panamera calipers of at the CNC guy for a set of custom brackets to fit them to my 380mm ///M setup... i never liked the look of the front 4 pots..

I would have gone for the 400x36 disc but there is really no more room left in my 20" MB design KV1 wheels.. calipers are a whopping 36cm in length


As soon as i get the brackets back , calipers are going in for paint and then ill post some more pics..

How you dealing with the piston size ratio and overall brake bias?

Looks like there will be significant increase in unsprung weight also.

If looks is the primary concern then they will look awesome albeit at the sacrifice of function.

Theyre heavier then the 4 pots ofcourse.. pistonsize is almost equal to the 4 pots so im not worried about the brake bias.

Since its just my daily grocery getter i can deal with the added unsprung weight.. i just cant stand the 4 pot front calipers found on the M3 and the M4...( look wise )
