Its brake rotor diameter that makes the difference, not the number of pots. Give me 4/6 pots and bigger rotors any day

Noo.. Other way round!

Rotor? Are you American? :E
I expect he's used to the better system of having a seperate rotor and bell - there's no way you can call a rotor a disc because there's no centre!!

What does a BMW M3 use?

I also have to state that theres alot more to brakes being "good" than Disc/rotor size.
the caliper/piston design have alot to do with it too..
EG
A common complaint with the Skoda fabia vRS is the std brakes aint very good..
its not that they dont stop the car.. but they dont offer feedback and a nice progressive pedal feel... and its down to the design of the calipers.. for some reason the fabia/ibiza/polo GT have different calipers to the rest of the VAG range with 288mm discs..
The single-pot caliper that every other VAG car uses can be used on 288mm and 312mm disc setups by changing the caliper carrier.. ive gone for the 312mm on mine, but i bet id be fine on the 288s..
just changing the calipers has made a massive difference to the feel of the brakes completely! ovbiously actual braking power has much-improved with the increase in disc size+use of racing pads.. but the brakes feel so much more confident... its difficult to explain, but i hope some of you car people understand
Also TaRox do 6, 8 and 12pot calipers.... nice
