>10 piston calipers
who pays for this dumb shit?

Do they make a kit for a Mitsubishi mirage?

Alcon doesn't make 10 piston calipers.
F1, Indy car, and NASCAR all use 6 piston calipers as well.

Do their technical regulations even allow the use of 10-piston brakes?
>>
>>28678844
not for f1, 6 is the rule
>>28677980
10 will be better than 6 because it's more clamping force and also more area to clamp the brake rotor. downside would be extra wear but most people running these wouldn't give a fuck

I clamped your're mom's nipples last night, if you can catch my drift?

If the pressure is the same sure, but that's not really a limitation in a motorsports grade braking system. They can adjust it to basically whatever they want to make a 6 piston clamp "as hard" as a 10 piston setup. And generally they don't want extremely sensitive brakes because it's harder for brake modulation.

They do it for more even clamping which spreads the heat out better on the pad, more even heat dissipation into the brake fluid in the brake pistons, and more surface area for cooling.

Tldr: it's not done for clamping it's done for cooling and heat dissipation reasons.

If the piston area is the same, the clamping load would be identical.
The only thing I can think of is: 10 pistons could spread the load out over a wider area.
But these 10 piston calipers essentially have 5 very tiny pistons all grouped together.
It's marketing gimmick
Because normal fags know 10 is bigger than 6.
