Thank you Greg! you are good for something on this forum
Another thing that needs to be taken into consideration is mounting of pedals & calipers.. The stronger the mount.. The less defelection you will get & the firmer your pedal will feel..
Ron will get me the bore diameter on the calipers & we will do a calculation of what will get us in the ball park.. It is always different from our calculation due to how you want pedal feel..

More SMALL pistons in these "multi piston brakes" do not always equal more MC because - like motors - 5 liters is still 5 liters - 12 cylinders or 6...
Pedal RATIO is important - for brake pedal TRAVEL -- and the multiplier of effort. 7:1 ratio will travel MORE and produce more pressure per effort than will a 6:1 pedal.
It ain't rocket science. The other #2 thing people forget about or make poor choices about is what pad they choose --- because a super hard race/autocross pad will feel crappy on the street regardless of all of the above.   |
