Anyone running ap racing 6pot/4pot brakes?

Hey everyone! Brakes are getting toasted and it's time to redo them soon, I found a deal on ap racing calipers with pads, no rotors. So I'll have to source the 370/360 rotors, do these require a master cylinder upgrade of any sort ?

I haven't purchased just want to tally up some things first lol

I run a CP 9660 front bbk with 370mm rotors. all I did was change up the rotors / calipers and some coding done. The coding part I am unsure as the shop handled everything.

no MC upgrade required, I was running Msport brakes single piston before the upgrade.

I replaced the 'base level' Sport brakes (2-pot front; single pot sliding calipers on the rear)on my F31 330d with Stoptech Trophy 6-pot front calipers (380mm did discs) and BMW 2-pot calipers (i.e. 'blue brakes' but had them stripped, hydraulically serviced and powder coated a different colour) with 330mm discs. Stainless braided lines all round and good quality Dot4 fluid. I run Pagid RSL1 pads all round.

No need to replace the master cylinder, and there's been no need for coding. Pedal travel and feel are both fine - no mush, good modulation, and ample stopping power.
