Hey guys.
The force applied by the brake pad to the rotor equals the force generated by pressing the brake pedal and the booster....there would be some torque effect with different diameter rotors. But for a specific size rotor the number of pistons or the contact area of the pads has no bearing on the total force applied... ie a single piston =100% force applied, 2 pistons = 50% force applied by each, etc. Question, if the above is correct, then why do multipot brakes work so well even in day to day driving?
