who cares, five-lug FC brakes are probably better than truck brakes anyway.

Almost NOTHING out there runs anything more than 4-piston.
Porsche turbos run 4-pistons.
Vipers run 4-pistons.
Most Ferrari's run 4-pistons.

If anything is going to run 6-piston brakes, it's going to be a super exotic which means super mega bucks.
