I do love her more and more each post LOL
That was an artfully delivered slap! Bravo! My dear, Bravo !!
Patrick says:
“since your back and put a deposit down you certainly deserve the benefit of the doubt” WTF? That was an apology? It’s a shallow and pathetic attempt to save face in public. (If I know Patrick, he probably sent her a PM with an actual apology.) But I digress..
Flygirl, Try not to take the words of Patrick too seriously (the rest of us sure don’t!)
Imagine a grumpy, mumbling, old man, shuffling along, snapping at all that walk past, having had far too much coffee…
Anyway, pedal travel is a function of M/C vs. Caliper piston volume. Lowering the caliper volume would yield less pedal travel among other things.
Interestingly, SSBC’s (Stainless Steel Brake Corp) first caliper of their own design was a better, two piston version of the GM sliding caliper, using the same mounts and spacing for use with factory rotors.
And No, Wilwood’s by design do not “require” a larger diameter rotor. They could be used with a stock size rotor if one desired it. The question would be why? If you’re going to the trouble of upgrading the calipers, why not change the rotor and hubs to much lighter and more serviceable units. Typically you can get an improvement in braking and save a considerable amount of rotating mass in the process by changing to Aluminum hubs and hats.
