[QUOTE="Imatk, post: 15324429, member: 75573"] My first question would be how did you observe that your rear brakes weren't doing the job? Other than the fact that the rear rotor is tiny in the wheel and kind of looks bad the brakes were setup with a particular bias that works for your front brakes. In other words... they were engineered to work correctly together. If you put the 13/14 brake on the rear it will affect your bias with the 4-piston brakes. How much I don't know. Will you notice the difference? Probably not too much unless you track the car. Would I do it? No. But to each his own. The 13/14 rear is pretty inexpensive so I'd say give it a shot and see how you like it. If you find it's too much brake in the rear and it's braking badly then you can either put the stock rears back on, or move to the 6-piston setup. Just be aware the 6-piston will need 19" wheels to clear the caliper. [/QUOTE]
