Brakes Kits - 4 Pots vs 6 Pots
Hi Bros,
Pls help me. Other than stopping power, price and size, what is the difference in brake control between 4 pot brake kits and 6 pots? Was told that with 4 pots I will lose the comfort of light, smooth brakings eg. when approaching traffic red lights. Because all 4 pots will "bite" the wheel at the same time and 6 pots will bite less at first untill you press fully. I don't know if the sales man is conning me to buy the 6 pots instead of the 4 pots. The cost between the 2 is more than double $$ difference. Thanks. |
i think the numbber of pots is just to increase the responsiveness of the brakes if the rotors and brake pads size remains the same. a single pot with a bigger rotor and larger brake pads will brake faster then a smaller 6pot.
|
So you mean a 4 pot with big rotors will generally be sufficient unless you are taming a beast?

Key word: Balance! Don't mod without doing your homework/research, else you'll end up wasting money and worse still make your car more unsafe.

How big difference between pmu and your stock brakes? 30% or 50% better? Do you need to be more sensitive on the brake pedals now for pmu? |
pmu brakes goes eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....kekekkeke

All brake kits screech right? It whether loud or not. At least our insulation is relatively good that you would not hear it most times.

Hmmm. I think the PMU looks good. But braking wise, still don know the effect yet. But sometimes, i find that the brake will brake twice. After i step on the brake and hold on to it, it will brake another time by itself. Lol frankly speaking i don know how to put it in words. But its good.
:uhh: |
