[QUOTE="Jack Hidley, post: 1357910, member: 21070"] A couple of comments. The piston areas for all of the 4 and 6 piston calipers are double what they should be. Only the area on one side of the caliper counts. Vintage Venom is no longer manufacturing products. Their website is still up for documentation purposes. Caliper piston area has nothing to do with brake performance. More smaller diameter pistons usually results in more even pressure distribution on the brake pad backing plate, which reduces pad taper. A secondary effect might be that the mass centroid of the brake pad is further outboard. This increases the effective radius of the brake rotor, so there is more torque. This change will be very small. [/QUOTE]
