Translated from the site:

(2) 6-pot calipers
(2) 2-piece rotors (355mm)
(2) Brake pads for each caliper
(2) Brake Lines
(2) Brackets
Hardware

The kit is very rigid and made from lightweight forged aluminum. The special piston design prevents uneven pad wear. The rotors are two peice floating type, 355 mm in diameter.

Price: 299,000 Yen or $2741.00

the 14" front stoptech kit sells for $2600 and is only a 4 piston caliper.

compared to the central 20 kit, $2700 and you're getting a 6 piston caliper.

and of course you get that jdm bling :P

not a bad deal at all

But are they balanced to our car, blah blah blah. There are a lot of people who make calipers and rotors and that doesnt mean they are the best setup/price for our car.

4 is not necessarily better than 6. The equation is much more complex than this.

Some good points brought up in this post...are these just calipers from another application thrown on the Z? What implications does this have on the front to rear brake bias? My guess is that they will have a heavy front bias. They'll feel like they have a lot of bite, but may not be using the rear brakes to their full potential. This is just a hunch...many swaps that aren't specifically matched to a stock car tend to have a heavy front bias, but who knows?

6 piston calipers don't have any inherent superiority over a 4 piston caliper. What really matters is the size of the pistons in the caliper. A 6 piston tends to have more surface area on the pad, so it doesn't wear as quickly...that's the only general assumption you can make without knowing specifics of piston bores, etc.
