Default Brake upgrade from 2 piston to 4 piston

Hi

looking for some help and guidance. I came across new orange painted front 4 piston chippers from a friend whom upgraded to 6 piston. Is it possible to upgrade from 2 piston calipers to 4 piston on a 2023 110 S? Has anyone else completed this upgrade? Dealership would not help. Thank you in advance for your help.

Should be a fairly simple swap, as P300s with 22" wheels come with the Brembo four-piston calipers.

You would need to also get the larger rotors, though.

Thank you for the reply. Mine came with 20 inch wheels and twin piston fronts. Is 4 piston stall with larger rotors possible?

Yes. If you're on 20" wheels, it will be fine. On P400s (which come with the four-pistons), 18" wheels will not clear the larger rear calipers unless you grind them down or swap them out with a smaller caliper. Hence why the 19" wheel is the smallest wheel on the P400. V8s have even larger brakes and won't clear anything less than a 20" wheel.
