6 pistons or 4 pistons bbk for front?
Ok, I'm debating whether I should go with Stoptech 6pot front/ 4pot rear or go with 4pot front and rear.
F: 6-piston ST60 Red calipers, 355x32mm - 83.657.6700.71
R: 4-piston ST45 red calipers, 355x28mm - 83.657.0047.71
or
F: 4-piston ST40 Red calipers, 355x32mm - 83.657.4700.71
R: 4-piston ST45 red calipers, 355x28mm - 83.657.0047.71
Purpose:
*Mostly street driving
*Will eventually going FI in near future
***The price difference is about $200-300 between 6-pot vs 4-pot***
Any negative impact if I run 6/4 vs 4/4?
Which one would be a better choice?
Thanks.

I would do 355 6 pot front and 332 4 pod rear if tracking, and just 4 pots front and rear with the same rotor combo if you just want looks.

the 6 will not stop any better than the 4 - the pad life will be better though
it makes no difference how much horsepower the car has - your brakes don't know how much power the car has, nor do they care

Brakes don't care how much HP a car has? A 300hp Z going down a 1/2 mi straight will certainly not be going as fast as a 600hp Z at the end of that same straight.
All you need is the Stoptech 355mm 4/2. I have a 525whp Z with r compound tires and I drive it at Sebring and I have never ran out of brakes with that combo along with MOTUL RBF 600 brake fluid. If you want to be a baller get what you want. All you need is the 4/2.

I went with the 4/2 and i couldn't be happier. Any more and i would just be adding weight for no reason.
Also remember that the 4/2 setup has a better brake balance than a 4/4. If your adament about 4 in the rear, then i would go with a 6 up front, but otherwise 4/2.
