Brakes - Single pot, twin pot & 4 pot

[Newbienissan]

my opinion, for street use twin pot is more than enough..4pot is too hard core for me unless u want to go for track..plus 4pot brake pad is more expensive..

hmmm, 4 pot is good for track coz no brake fade on the track, how bout constant downhill for 45 mins ?

 

[MKMD428]

constant downhill for 45 minutes? shift to low gear + brake accordingly might help me thinks..be it for single pot

this is basic, how about very late braking method, 2 pot or 4 pot is better ?

 

[MKMD428]

very late braking? depends on speed and brake pad resistance me thinks.. el-cheapo might not help..sometimes there are some cases that bigger is not always better...

Danz...as promised...beautiful or not? he bought these brand new...not halfcut sets.

anybody knows how many pots? looks like 2 pot fronts n 1 pot rears...

plz eloborate why bigger is not better

aturo, me thinks the rim is too big for the rotor to brake in time for performance driving. normal street use, emergency brake also might face either brake fade or sudden lock. hmm hmm

wah...sa70 tuh...
but from my opinion ah. if those brembos are original, will costs a bomb rite? at least rm4k....
but y u using taiwan sa70's? he could afford ori ones....
to me it looks like fake...i might be wrong....

to get the truth, u need to ask him bro...

if its real it could be twin pots...cos that rim cant clear 4 pots

 

[khoyos]

those are definitely not brembos. the SUMITOMO logo clearly written there. those are nissan r32 gtst (RB20DET) 4pot brakes hahaha...

I was going to same the same too....

Yup... cheap & effective...

just the pad expensive...

hmm a bit sarcastic there...

by the way u ask..i think u should know better..

no offense bro..hehehehe

front 4pot..rear 2pot rite??

 

[Newbienissan]

researching is good, plz share if anyone using 2pot front single rear, or 4pot front 2pot rear, or 4pot front single rear. -peace-

 

[MKMD428]

mmm okay for me bigger doesn't mean better because, if a person felt that his two pot is more than enough for his braking purposes (i.e in any condition) hence there is no need for 4 pot. 4 pot does look nice..but they are a bit heavy..unless they're floated disc, aftermarkets such as project miu or wilwood. those are less heavier but comes with a price.

but if the depths of the wallet or pocket allows so..then it should be no problem..hihihihi.

thanks mkmd,
nice/thick wallet is not the question, may refer on the first post, the topic's agenda. there are plenty of 4pots lying in halfcut shops which is ranging 600-800 which is not expensive as new ones, and with the help of machineshop everything is possible. im researching between 2pot and 4pot braking respond. so far alot 2pot users. now like to hear some 4pot users' experience especially track n downhill/rally drivers. appreciate if any 4pot users can share the maximum braking effiency like from 80kmh to 20kmh in a very late braking way, and how much distance needed to slow down..hit a corner, the out of it (more techically experience sharing)

:)

4pot is more like from 200km/h to 80km/h in just a few eye blink only....huhuhu..if 80-20 i think its just an eye blink..

but not only the brakes..u have to include the weight of the car also...

yes, thanks for sharing. but lets say if 4pot front and single pot rear, would u experience understeer ? or 4pot infrot n 2pot rear is better? this is what i liked to know :)

if want to upgrade to 4 pots caliper from single, the bigger master brake pump needed bolt in togather, am I rite?

Yes, I think so. But if existing master pump is sufficient, may not need to change. This is what I see in the cars using 4pots in workshop. But I dint get a chance to test 4pot.....

 

[khoyos]

if the context is proton, i think twinpot + pmu rotors + pmu pads + evo twin layer servo will be more than sufficient already. fade resistant, excellent pedal feel, not too heavy sprung weight.

this setup will be a bit expensive due to the pads n rotors. but guaranteed to give u braking confidence in whatever driving conditions, be it on trackdays, winding roads, open highways etc...
