Unless the StopTECH kit has 12 pistons, you are doing your math wrong.

The way to calculate the overall piston area on fixed caliper is to take the overall area on ONE SIDE only. I.E. You count only 3 pistons on the same side in a 6 piston set.

Don't ask me why. I don't know why. That's just how it is.
