F56 Question Brake 4 Piston Caliper for 290 mm

Hi,

is there any 4-piston caliper sets available in the US - to upgrade the stock brakes 290mm for F56 S ?

something like that: http://www.taroxbrakes.de/system/htm...r-eebf95f2.jpg

I like to keep the low profile 16 inch wheel look , and would go for 8x16.
The wheel manufacturer we might use is flexible in the offset. As i changed already ProKit to a single exhaust

Together with an improved performance boost to 270 hp

Did you find any 4 piston calipers that would work with stock rotor size? I am also wondering the same... Thanks.

Holy thread resurection!

But good question, I am wondering the same...

I haven't called them yet, but Wilwood may be able to help. This kit from R53 fits under 15" wheels. Maybe they can make this caliper fit 270mm / 16" wheels. No idea.

Side topic, I see a few people on mini56.com using BMW X2 front brakes. Doesn't look like they fit under 16" wheels. But a nice budget option. Although I would think a stiff 4-piston caliper would have better pedal action.
