They are 4 pistons. I used to offer a 6-piston radially mounted kit, but it was expensive and didn't sell enough to keep producing. But I am thinking reintroducing it since the expensive Wilwood SL6R has been phased out and replaced by the Radial Superlite costing 2/3 the price.
e30 BBKs : What if ? What if the 300x21mm and 300x32mm BBKs w/ floating rotors could be available with Wilwood's Radial Superlite calipers too? These use the same brake pads as the lug mounted...
BTW I don't have ONE massive kit but a dozen different e30 kits to suit eveyone's needs
FRONT
280x22mm Corrado G60 rotor w/ Dynapro caliper
280x21mm two-piece rotor w/ Dynapro caliper

Haha that would be insane.
The kit I have now is fantastic.
Zero brake fade and very consistent braking.
I'm 100% with you.
The concave wheels are a huge failure of you ask me...
Bigger wheels that are harder to fit and can't even run the same size tire as the flat faced version..

I wouldn't say that the concave wheels are a failure. They are great strong wheels and they look extremely good, but they only just don't offer the same clearance for BBKs. Perhaps wheels for a different crowd. Actually, in my opinion a flat faced 17x8.5 would have been awesome. But I guess that production constraints make it not possible.
But think about that : the e30 has been out of production for a quarter of a century, yet new wheels are still available. Count yourself lucky. ;-)Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

Kind of defeats the purpose of going to 17's if you cannot fit big tires and have them fit over big brakes.
I am very happy that apex made the flat faces again so now I have a spare set of wheels to mount some R-compounds..
Just would have been nice to have some 255's square fit my e30 under stock fenders. :)

It'd look so good!
