Default I always thought my B5 had better braking then my B6. Twin piston vs one...
What make the B6/B7 better?

Default B6 isn't much heavier then the B5 though, ~220lbs
My B6 had 18lb rims, lightweight battery, and some other weight reducing bits, saving about 130lbs, with over 45lbs in rotational mass, and I had both stock and Hawk HPS pads.

My B5 with Hawk pads could out stop it any day.

I agree. I'm thinking of going B6 front AND rear. What do you think?

Default I think you should do it and tell me how it turns out :)
Do you have any idea how much it costs? I tried searching around to see if anyone was selling. I guess you could probably salvage them from a junk yard? Are you planning on just using the OE rotors, or going with something else?
