jacko

shouldnt have released the pics yet everyone will be wanting some lol wonder how well it would actualy work though

*Bri.4.b.Cos*

I thought about this ages ago, but could not be arsed to do it , Let us know how it goes, disks are going to get warm though, and possibly a bit more travel on the pedal.

jacko

its a piss take mate i aint going to do it lol

*Bri.4.b.Cos*

But could be a cheap DIY budged brake upgrade...............or not

vx220

actually been done for real, on an old alfa saloon racing car IIRC?

something to do with the rules and regs not allowing upgraded calipers, so they doubled up the existing calipers.

think about the increase in the unsprung weight!

loads of the btcc cars back in the days of the original vovlo estates had twin calipers on the fronts

would you not have big problems with pedal stroke to piston area ratios?

James

slightly different but the new rs4/rs6/r8 come with twin callipers on the rear, one for the hand brake and one for the foot brake.

Tony Ryan

Nissans and Hondas amongst others used twin water cooled 4 pots from 96/97 . this is from my recent 97 Nissan .

not really, as long as you match your master clyinder with the size of the calipers
just means that you only need to exert half the pressure to get the same amount of stopping, this gives you more pad life but at the expense of the dic neding to disapte more heat

pmsl at Sport Billy.

fancy not knowing who that is.

dojj

iTrader: (3)

his bag was the hero really

Basky

do the calipers have to be the same size on the one wheel

dojj

iTrader: (3)

don't matter
as long as they are paired side by side
and you don't even have to have them opposing, they oculd be right next to each other as all you are doing is effectivly making the pad contact area bigger

jacko

right so it needs to be 2 tarox 12 pots on a 380 roater

ebc green pads are shit

racer

It would work a bit better with the pad in the right way round !

Stavros

I remember at least one Cossie road car with twin front calipers (im sure there were more too), and loads of racers have ran crazy stuff like that.
