so, just because they don't want the multi-piston fixed caliper their opinion is a lie or invalid?
or have no driving ability or track experience? how arrogant....you must be 'smarter' than them, right?
the sliding caliper is better for the street, where pads and rotors must last a long time without wobble or shudder...
physics doesn't care about the design:
F = u N
Ke = 1/2 m V^2
do you see AREA in those equations?
all brakes are over sized, if not, no need for ABS...
so the tire (and driver) is the limiting factor...
coeficient of friction
thermal mass/heat transfer
fluid insulation
the Bosch automotive handbook states that floating (sliding) are better for the street...no one here knows more than 20 PhD engineers from Bosch, Teves/ATE, etc.
others subcumb to 'bling', BMW doesn't
