Post Why are these brakes better?

I am interested in getting new rims and Brembo brakes. What makes the brembo calipers better? I realize the slotted/crossdrilled rotors help cool the brakes and reduce wear but what is so special about the calipers on Brembos over the stock ones? Should I expect more horsepower "just kidding" stopping power? Do they only upgrade the front or can I do the rears as well? They look less bulky than stock, does that mean I shouldn't have a problem with th eclearence on different rims? Do you guys think it is worth it?

I think that the Brembo's may be four piston Calipers as well compared to the stock two piston which could explain the increased stopping power....

Question

Hey Snook, are the TL Brembo brakes 2 piston or four piston? Do they only come for the front?
