You didn't expect a technical discussion with this crowd on this thread did you

Great seeing you at the Lat G party and at Optima. Sorry I missed Phx.


Time for some brake tech


Previously on the forum you had run some brake calculations for me that are now slightly out the window. As I progressed on my engine setback project I abandoned my swing pedals and dual master setup. Buried a few post back under the ribbing you can see I posted about it.

I purchased a set of floor pedals but as with all floor pedals their ratio is limited. They are 5.75 to 1 at best so using the 100lbs std driver force there is an obvious loss in clamping force.

My floor pedals have a .875 and .813 master cylinders. Intuitively I would think with the lower pedal ratio of 5.75 maybe I should be running the .813 master for the front and a .750 for the rear to raise the line pressure and achieve a total braking force closer to 4000.

I also understand we could achieve more braking force through the use of a higher COF pad.

Intuitively doesn't make for much of a scientific discussion so plugging in the master sizes and new pedal ratio into your chart would be the best starting point for a discussion.

I also understand that setting my overall suspension parameters, either tweener or high travel, will also dictate what brake bias 65/35 or 70/30 we are targeting.
