Again, its not the number of pistons, it's the total piston area and rotor size. 6 pistons doesn't neccessarily mean more brake torque or fade resistance. More pistons usually means better feel and more even pad wear. Might be heavier and generally more money.

Honestly I see the fact that they went with 355 mm rotors as more concerning. That's a BIG ass heavy rotor and a 330 or so would be a much better lighter choice and that's still huge for this car. As in even if I was building a competition car I probably wouldn't go with 355s because it'll be slower.

You won't fade a 328 mm rotor with good pads and fluid even with Hoosiers (unless you really can't drive).

Seriously. 6/4s on a car with no power or weight is just masturbation fodder for the ricers, which this car seems to be clearly targeting.
This, lol

It is going to cost what, $5k? for the TRD spec in the OP and you will have a slower car than stock ^_^ But I guess for the street looks are the only important thing. Toyota Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement Development. Put some FI or otherwise increased output with those modifications plz

Already answered why.

Thw doors are frameless so the ridgity is lower hence the door stablizers.

TRD back end SO busy! But looks great with only the (T) logo- i will do same

I must sound like a broken record by now but:

if you love that sound check out the GReddy RS single exhaust!
(not Ti though but saves 30lbs from oem unit!)
