ROFL. Nice call!

I don't see an advantage unless the pots were tiny/car weighed 3tonnes.

LOL

well i just never new bigger than 8 pot existed!!! so when i found out there was i wanted to share it :D
lol

well this R34 Skyline GTR is running 940bhp apparently at 2.6 bars of boost but 10pot front and rear just seem like a bit excessive to me :O like the brakes on the 350z we have are ridiculous and that was wid shit pads...step dad got street track pads on now and says it brakes better now like FUCK!!!! they didnt need to get better they were awesome as they were :O


id rather have a brake fetish than a midget porn fetish anyday
that will be the day when midget porn saves my life lol

Im sure if you were driving a skyline that powerful the 10 piston brakes wouldn't seem like enough....

The whole point to more pistons is to generate the most force on the brake pads over the effective working area of the brake rotor.

Sometimes it is too much though, in the case of the max braking force being greater than the friction force between the tire and the road.

There is out there that I have seen a 16pot Caliper.

Only downfall to these is that some of the larger calipers running with multiple pots run separate pads.

The 16pot Caliper was running from memory 3 pads each side of the rotor, 2 smaller pads on the top and bottom taking 2 pots and a larger pad in the middle using 4 pots. The disadvantage to this is that if one set of pots fails you will have less braking power and you wont be able to determine what the cause is unless you pull the brakes off the caliper apart.

If you are going to go big brakes, best to stick with well known brands and pay the bit extra, I have heard good things about Justcraps G4 8pot brakes, and I have heard some bad things.

But a big caliper say 6pot AP Racing caliper running 1 brake pad either side of the rotor will give you better braking than a cheaper jap 8/12/16 pot caliper.

There'd have to be heaps of flex in calipers like that.

16 pot....whiplash from the seatbelt much!!!
And there's not much I can say
But we miss you every day
And I'm bitter 'cause it's unfair
We'll be drinkin' in the sun
Playing music having fun
Cause one day I'll see you there
