If you, like me, thought bigger pads = better braking then check this out http://www.stoptech.com/faq/ Coz they dont!

It also answers a front/rear brake bias question I asked weeks ago (would the rears become less effective with new BIG fronts?). Seems it depends on piston size matching the orig master cylinder...

diesel, sent you another mail - PAGID available, no problem
alyn - as performance

 

Diesel, no, bigger pads do not equal better braking (depending on what you mean by bigger). Eg longer usually = better but not always!

Brake balance is a very important but often overlooked performance parameter, especially with people like us who muck about with these things.

Brake balance can be adjusted not just by piston size/pressure but rather more easily by carefully matching front-rear pad friction coefficients.

Have you got that explaination in English please Richard
