One disadvantage is the smaller piston area (4.04in^2 (1.62in, 1.12in, 1.12in) vs. 5.40 in^2 (1.75in, 1.38in, 1.38in)) in the W6A 6 piston caliper. |
The Thermlock pistons are a great upgrade if you intend to run motorsport compound pads with relatively high max temp ratings. I'm familiar with a few applications locally that have been able to eliminate their brake fluid recirculation systems just by upgrading to Thermlock pistons and not have issues with boiling their fluid. The rigid piston design doesn't have any of the compressibility issues associated with other types of insulator pads or barriers IMO.
Was there a question regarding the relative piston area of SL6 and W6A calipers and how does that pertain to Thermlock pistons?
