Default 6 Pot or 4 Pot..?

Ok first off morning all! i am new and sorry if this has been asked a million times b4 but i have had a quick look and cant seem to find anything helpfull

Reet, got a 4x4 Sapphie Cos few bits and bobs on it and looking at a big brake conversion, now with most of my experiance being in the Jap side of things i am a bit stuck when it come to Ford bits currently running 17's and drilled and grooved that are pants for the power that its putting put, and have been in the market for a set of 6/4 pots for the fronts, now have spoken to Tarox (as a mate runs the 6's on his escort) and they do a 327mm 6 pot for around £1155+vat.

Any other reccomendations? also looked at AP racing 6's and Brembro all around the same sort of price, the price aint important as i will fit them myself and claim the vat back, but i want a decent set up for a 400+ cossie.

The car might be used for track in the future but atm wont be going anywhere near one, so the brake will be 99.9% fast road use,

any halp suggestions of anyone with knowlage in this area would be great,

Thanks in advance,

Mike.

Jtechsapp on here is selling Comp Brake 6 Pots 350mm Kit for £750, i've got them fitted on my 3 door and I think they are Excellent although some people will tell you AP's are the only thing you should fit, but if going to be 99.9% a road car AP's seem alittle bit of over kill.

Here's the link to Jtechsapps breaking thread:

Thumbs up

Spoons your Mo`s are 7jx17 so you need to know what size will fit.

Mine are 8 x 17 with a offset of ET33 on the front,
Being an inch thinner the caliper might catch on the back of spokes, but i'm not sure.
Spoons if your anywhere near me you can come and try one of your MO's over my brakes.
