Question Has anyone put the new ZL1 calipers on a 4th gen yet?

I've never seen it done. I'm thinking about my next brake upgrade here. It will probably be 6 piston front calipers with two peice rotors and 4 piston rear calipers with again 2 peice rotors.

I remember seeing issues about the lack of swept area with the ctsv calipers. So why do most people go with the standard SS 4piston calipers instead?

Seems to me like 6 pistons would most likely be better than 4.
