Your advise is the sensible thing to do.I'm just not too sensible at times.

Do you know anything about the FDL & FSL question ?
Perhaps this will make your decision easier.... I plan on changing out my wilwood 10.75 front rotors to the 12.19". It make the system better balanced on my car. Plus the greater mass in the front helps with brake temps. Do I need to do it, nope, not for street use... but I am going to anyways!

Send me all the specs again once you decide because this will have impact on your master cylinder selection.

What is FDL and FSL?

As for calipers.... I would prefer a fixed caliper with different sized pistons to aid with pad taper. 4 pot is just fine for the front and two for the rear. Six is nice and all but overkill for the street, IMO. Any of the major brand names should be fine.
