[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 15458, member: 264"] It's not realy the 4-pots that cause the problem it is the total amount of braking torque developed from friction generated between pad and disc due to the hydraulic force generated by M/C and caaliper. it could just as easily be a single piston sliding caliper or some super sixes. More pistons just spread the force over a greater amount of area, allowing a longer pad to be used without it bending. The "4pots" just look cool and have some tasty pad compounds to fit in them. They also (sometimes) allow a larger disc to be run with a fabricated carrier bracket which gives more heat capacity to the disc and also greater torque as the pads are further out from the hub. DaveB on the UK-MkIVs forum was the resident brembo hoarder and developer of the kit I used Pagid catalogue> [url=https://www.pagid.de/eu/downloads-mainmenu-65]https://www.pagid.de/eu/downloads-mainmenu-65[/url] [/QUOTE]
