A PM 6 piston caliper with a 13" rotor is a very common set up. We always sell this set up with the braided brakeline you will need as well. Feel free to look at our website and send a pm or give me a call if I can help.

I run the 6 piston PM caliper and a 13" rotor with my 21" wheel on my '06 SG.

My personal opinion....MUCH stronger than the factory setup.

I also changed my MC to a PM with the smaller 9/16" bore.
This may be part of the reason my binders work so well.

I trust what these guys say. Give them a call.
They won't just tell you some line, so they can sell you something................and they will have the best price too.
