For us 4.6is guys our fronts are 356mm if I recall correctly. Do you see a need for an upgrade from 24mm or is this more for the calipers that show braking improvement from a 2 piston to a 6 piston setup?

From those that have performed the upgrade have noticed an improvement in braking. I dont track my X5 so I would imagine that I am not going to see a huge improvement. I'll need to weigh the components but right off the bat the 6 piston brembos are lighter than my 4.6is calipers. The rotors that I spec'ed are about the same in weight to my OE rotors. So once I have all the components I'll weigh them and provide the info. The real reason that I am doing this upgrade is because I want a big brake kit and came across a great price on the calipers.
