Excellent. That's good to know.
I'm not one for figuring out brake math ie, caliper size vs piston size vs cylinder size as I've seen so many people come up with answers which are opposite to what I see on the track or street.
But I know bigger brakes not only stop the car better but give far better control - I found the smaller piston and smaller rotors are prone to lock up far easier - the pedal is very "on" or "off". The bigger the rotor and cylinder - the more control you have and you can get closer to the edge without locking up. Obviously the more metal you have the more heat it will handle and the longer it will go before overheating / fading / boiling fluid. I have ally spacers, ally wheels, ally brembo calipers and at the end of a session - the rims are hot to touch - everything is sucking heat away nicely from the pads and they never fade or boil.
Tony, if that brake bias setup is for the track car - maybe consider deleting the brake booster. You'll get better feel and save weight.
