I had a 6pot 13" wilwood setup with stock ap2 wheels and OEM tires and you could definilty feel an improvement in stopping power. Bite was much improved. I cant say for certain if stopping distance was shortened but the time in which it took to come to a stop was certainly improved.

The rear calipers are tiny. Lol. Should make them 4 pistons.

as long as they function, size should not be an issue.
