[QUOTE="New recaros, post: 1996787, member: 33856"] Less mass will cool quicker if the surface area and air flow remain constant. If you want cooler brakes, larger diameter and increased air flow is the answer. Different pad materials have varying friction. A pad with a lot of friction takes less lb’s per sq/in to perform the same work. That requires less pedal pressure giving you the illusion they work better. No matter what pad or caliper you use, it still uses the same amount of energy to slow the truck down. You can’t increase braking performance past tire traction. So, most braking kits don’t increase stopping power, your traction is normally the limiting factor. They are sort of like the Peddle commander, gives you the illusion of increased performance. Think about it this way, no matter what pads, rotor thickness and pad material, it does not change the energy needed to slow the truck. That’s a constant within any set of parameters. [/QUOTE]
