You might need to change the servo aswell, could be why the 6 pots are so much cheaper.
All a servo does is help you push the pedal down - you should never have to change it when upgrading brakes.
Looking good mate, i use the same collinite wax and its superb, i did mine in september,and have covered well over 12k miles in that time, and the water still beads like a good un.
What kind of power are you running to need 6 pots? the brakes of a Focus ST might be a cheaper upgrade? they stop my beast well enough

Thanks guys. Glad people like the end result.
Tom, I use a couple of things really mate.
EDIT: Right, I used this stuff for ovens and stuff. It's like a mutli-purpose thing (says you can use it on gold, silver, chrome, etc etc). Bought it from Woolworths iirc. Pound Stretcher and stuff do it as well. It's called "Doktor Power - Super Cleaning Treatment". It's like a sponge applicator which you dip in some water, work around the paste and scrub it on. Brings off all the black cr*p which is stuck to the exhaust.
I then used AutoSol to finish the metal to a nice shine.
EDIT2: Think it's from or by JML mate.
Cheers, aye you either like them or hate them. Some people on the owners club have their ST's naked. Looks nice as well.
Good to hear, you got to love that beading action. lol.
Yeah like I say, the 6-pots were cheaper than 4-pots. But I was considering to get the JamSport Supercharger kit fitted at some point. Gives just over 200bhp so the 6-pots would be nice. hehe. Who knows!
Yeah she's not bad. Some quicker hot hatches out now but with a few choice mods you can see 180-190bhp pretty easily. So it's no slouch! But there were other reasons for the 6-pots than just looks.
I didn't mention when I first posted but they maybe for if I ever get the Supercharger kit. Lol if I were just going for looks I'd do the simple and cheaper 300mm upgrade.
Thanks everyone.
