Shane . Sorry to say that the v6 calipers are single pistonand I'm unsure of the exact size of the rotors at the front I just measured them with a tape and they look to be approx 275mm. Im not sure if thats the news you were waiting for but hey, "Still Gotta Love The Car"

You know that V6 rotors are 5 stud against the 4cyl being 4x100. Means you need to bring over
the hubs as well and the calipers. If you look at discpads.com you will see there is only about
4mm difference in rotor size not really worth it.
