Why our Piston Dimensions are Smaller then Stock
It is quite common that multi-piston calipers have smaller diameter pistons, this will ensure more uniformity in the pressure distribution on the brake pads.
To add, by having pistons of differing sizes in the caliper, our brake designers are able to tune the distribution of pressure across the brake pad. This can allow them to improve the brake noise, compensate for brake pad wear, make changes in the brake output, or make other performance changes in the brake behavior.

Mono-tube construction is a tube that is separated into two parts, oil and gas. With piston movement in the tube, damping force will occur. There is the high air pressure in the strut and a certain load capacity; as the result, it could retain its ...
