Michael, I am aware of most of the stuff you listed but didn't want to get into that stuff. It would make the post totally useless for most folks.

Also, when I was referring to the movement of the 4 brake pads, I meant the front brakes. The rear brakes were not addressed in the post. I didn't want to go there due to the different proportioning valves in use.


Again, I believe the stuff I dumped out there will be good enough to get someone in the general ball park.
Obviously, the brake torque calculation shows a perfect scenario where the real world will see the number cut by as much as 65% with the use of poor quality brake pads.

Sometimes it's just fun to fiddle around with numbers.
