Now a 355mm kit is a bit of overkill.

Anyway...I agree with Dave-ROR that if you're looking for an easy solution with low noise and maintenance, the smaller stoptech and AP/Stillen street kits are great choices.

For a slightly better track set-up, the AP/Essex kits are very very hard to beat for the money. The endurance kit will perform really well with r-comps and lots of power.

This.

The main key for me on the 6 pot systems is that they are using 355x32 rotors, they'd need less piston area to have the same brake torque. Without doing the math I can't say what they actually have but I'd suspect it's the same piston area as the 4 pots, but the additional leverage will shift bias IMO. A great example of why you shouldn't look at piston count is our OEM calipers versas the WRX 4 pots

Again that's without doing any math, I'm against the 14" setups for other reasons (wheel size and weight) so I never bothered to check.
