I was at a car show this weekend and saw this:



Anybody else seen/done this mod? Are there actually any benefits keeping in mind the obvious custom install headaches.

The most force you could exert on a rotor would be that which would lock up the tires, which you dont want to do any way, past that and more braking power doesnt do any good.

A BBK would be enough to lock up the tires so you really dont need two calipers.

Brake response would most likely be nice but as far as stopping you in a shorter distance i doubt it would help, im sure the judges liked it though.

Well with our rotors and hawk pads I can lock my brakes if I want, but of course I dont. The bigger rotors make you lose whp, so unless you are mutilap racing dont do it. I autox and after laps I tested my brakes multiple times and got 1.05 Gs (azenis for the tires). So our braking system is very good.

Pending on whether or not that is the front or the rear the extra caliper could be the parking brake...i've heard of that before.

Just my .02

installing 2x2 pistons calipers = 1x4 pistons caliper

on Maybah there are 2 big calipers on each front wheel from the factory, but that car weights over 3 tonns
