REDLooP Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 How does it? The surface area of the pad isn't changed, so the area of friction hasn't changed. The extra disc your adding isn't being covered by the pad.All your doing is adding extra weight.But you have more surface area of disk per rotaion of the wheel for the pad to clam onto.On your basis everyone might aswell have 200mm disks and just really big brake pads.

Silver! Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Like Jon said, not about the friction area, but about the braking torque available on the larger disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Did you do the rears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroddy Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 yer, ferodo pads and brembo discs with a braided hose, all round they now stop like stink and your face comes off and goes through the screen if you stomp on them, and there is absolutely no brake fade (that I've managed to feel so far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 So you didn't make them bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroddy Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 no, however i think without the DS2500 pads id have been disapointed! they're amazing pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 A caliper carrier from a g60 or the likes. Bigger disc done. Don't bother with the rear it will not help upgrading it the rear does very little.this may be so but they'd then look silly in comparisonthats what i want but i can't see the point in spending the money up front and not the back i like to do stuff properlySo....

Dblock Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 trust me its done properly, there aren't any pads better than D2500That's not what you said earlier you said you wanted bigger discs. You went back on your word and I'm dissapointed.Define better? Corbone Lorraine rc6-8? Mintex 1166. Ds3000's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I thought that's why you said you was making the rears bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Mine are standard size with Brembo discs, Tarox Strada pads, Dot 5.1 fluid and partial braided flexis (chassis to beam) and new OEM (beam to caliber) and new callipers. Braking is pretty spot on. If you put larger discs on the rear I imagine there would be a chance the braking balance would be upset; especially under extreme braking giving you a tail happy experience.

Keelan Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Force on the outside of a larger diameter is greater than something smaller. Eg torque. Fulcrum etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
