I wouldn't have said so.
Surely it's about pressure over a specific surface area?
I remember my GCSE Physics
I was pulling Mike's leg Rich as he always wanted 8 pots, but had to settle for 6's.
It's actually a lot to do with leading edges. The leading edge of the pad has a lot to do with the initial bite and feel when brakeing. The 8 pot Brembo's use 4 pads per calliper, hence twice the number of leading edges.
So Mike I have more pistons
and I have double the number of leading edges
