Hi Brake Guru's.

Im after some info on to calculate my braking torques given pison area, pad area, master cylinder and same for the rear etc.

Or generally more information on the calculation on this.

Cheers
Chris

 

With the greatest of respect that's too ****....

Just find out what other people have used successfully, in the use to which your car is put.... and copy them. i.e TA monster, full custom set-up, trackday toy better discs and pads, plus some cooling ducts.

If you start worrying about intricate details of braking systems design & performance, you are probably not enjoying just driving the damn car.

IMHO

lol fair enough. But unfort i enjoy the side of knowing what is happening too!

Problem is scoob drivers get raped for cash, where as there may be alternative solutions from other cars brake setups which could be compatible. Just looking at a couple of options but would like to work out whether it would actually be good.

 

At the end of the day it's all down to the grip of the tyres, 2 MNm of braking torque is then irrelevent, IMHO.

Quality costs, look at the crappy Transit callipers on a new RS ?

But good luck with the exercise !
