Why do you feel the 6 pots would be less stiff? The 6s are a much larger caliper in every dimension with a different configuration than the 4s.

Also, I am unaware of a Wilwood 4 pot application for the WRX from Wilwood. The 6 pot Billet Superlite front kit from Wilwood is here: http://www.wilwood.com/products/kits/sl6bbhk/index.asp
The rear is a 4 pot kit based on the Billet Dynalite 4 pot caliper. It is only in their PDF file. http://www.wilwood.org/2003kitcatalog.pdf

I think someone else must have built a 4 pot kit using Wilwood parts that you saw or heard about, or they discontinued because I do not see a pert number for it in their stuff.Sounds like somebody threw together something with the wrong parts for the application.
They opened up like a clamshell. 15 degrees is just me typing before thinking- who knows if it was more or less than that, but it is quite noticeable. I said 4 pots are stiffer than 6 pots, typically, based on StopTech's White Paper on caliper build and design. And it may have been the 6 pot kit- my brain is mush lately. I believe it was the Willwood-built Perrin kit, but I don't remember for sure. Aaron saw it as well, maybe he can clarify my details.
