HHI or PM 6 piston
Im looking to upgrade the front caliper to a 6 piston. Im looking for feedback for either of the two brands. Will the improvement be minimal or greatly improved? What are your thoughts? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the six piston HHI. I can tell the difference. I went with the HHI mainly because it has a clean look. Got a pretty deal with the caliper and steel braided line from Hogpro. Hogpro is a forum sponsor and gives a little bit of a discount.

I have considered that, but are they a direct bolt on? Do I need larger rotors? I was told at the dealership that they are not a direct bolt on. i don't know what would be needed to make it work, if you can.

whoa!
I went with the PM 6 piston but upgraded the disc to 13". Mucho difference. The brakes were anemic before and now I have something to hang on to. To me worth the money spent.

You're right! My mystake, I thought 4 but wrote 6!
As for the fitting I have no direct experience but I asked about it since I was interested in installing the left touring front caliper on my Breakout and I was told that there shouldn't be any issue. That's all I know...

+1 on being able to feel the difference and liking the clean look of the HHI over PM.
