6 Piston Calipers usually feature 3 inboard and 3 outboard opposing pistons. They are almost always fixed-position calipers without a bracket, similar to the 4 piston design. On 6 Piston Calipers, you will usually be able to see the outlines of the 3 pistons on the outboard side of the caliper.

What is the difference between 4 pot and 6 pot?

In my opinion, when comparing 4pot to 6pot, the 6pots are more for bling factor than performance. They add a lot of extra weight and don’t really stop much harder. They will have slightly more heat resistance, but good fluid and pads on 4pots should do you fine.

Does more brake pistons mean more power?

the number of pistons is not the point, its the total surface area. not surface area on discs, so more pistons give more braking power.
