Exactamundo. I was talking to one of the engineering guys from StopTech at SEMA and he was saying that for pretty much everything short of real high end race car stuff, 4 piston calipers work just fine even in the front. They make 6-piston kits because everyone thinks "OMG 6 piston rulezors!1!!", but they just end up shrinking the piston size because you don't need that much piston area to make the required brake torque.
