Default 21" front question

For u guys with 21's:


Trying to figure out everything I need for 21" front wheel and had some questions. I want to go to a left side only rotor. How does stopping power compare? Do I need to got to a 6 piston caliper, 13 inch rotor combo? Like the 360 brake, but heard it has too many issue, any opinions on that? Does stock fender need changed?

Thanks

Check out PM. They have choices that both work and look great. 360 is fighting a bad image problem as well as structural issues. Dont be their guinea pig.

Can you use a smaller rotor when using single sided brake?
