I'm unsure of what brake setup to go with for the front of my car. I'm putting rear discs from a fifth gen. ST184 in the rear, but for the front I have these options:

1. ST185 Single Piston Calipers and 10.9" Rotors - Bigger rotors, but a single piston caliper.

2. ST165 Dual Piston Calipers and 10.0" Rotors - Smaller rotors, but a dual piston caliper.

I've read both ways on this, so I'm not sure which would provide better braking performance...what do you brake gurus suggest?

Oh, by the way, both are pretty much free to me at this point. I'm getting some ST185 single piston calipers and pads and rotors in exchange for some spare parts, and I have stock AT200 rotors which work for the ST165 calipers, and ST165 calipers and pads.

^ yeah.

kinda what I'm trying to say, but you have to look at the overall sizes, but since the rotor size is that diff, i think your gana gain more from the bigger size then you would gain from the smaller but maybe more even pistins.
