Brake sizing, front/rear ratios
I'm trying to determine the optimum brake caliper piston areas for a road race cobra. Assuming a Cobra has equal brake pressure and volume from the master, equal disks front and rear, is there a basic caliper piston area ratio to strive for? I would have guessed it might be something like rears at 50% piston area of fronts. While using rdorman's great brake spreadsheet, I was surprised to see that the sample has equal piston areas front and rear.
It sure would be nice to hear from rdorman and Richard Huggins on this....
