Do I ban.T crazyshitbrick for being a cunt-inual cocksucker and general drama whore or do I let you guys go all apeshit on him? I do have a responsibility to the little pud to not let y'all mistreat him too much but that only goes as far as his own personal worth which is admittedly questionable to extremely low at this juncture.

I love the play on 'continual'. :D

You know me. I like a little mixing up now and then. But it does get old when someone is boring like this fucktard is. I almost can't do anything with someone that doesn't have any creativity.

I say do whatever you want. If you ban him, fine. If you don't, consider me one of the ones who will do the mistreating. :)

Well, we like to hear questions w/o retardedness and a little effort of the asker's part to answer their own question... just a little effort. You clearly used zero effort. That's the only way a person could end up asking a question like yours that boils down to this:

Hey guys, I want to spend a grand on brake parts I already have cause I want those uber cool Mach1 brakes that I already have. I mean, like, jeez... Quit being mean to me people...I want to UPGRADE my brakes...whats wrong with that??? I mean...why am I getting flamed for wanting to UPGRADE????

Maybe cause you think upgrade is the same as samegrade...which is exactly what you'd be doing by putting Mach brakes on your Mach.

Then you took a trucklaod of sand and a funnel and affixed a jig to pour the sand directly down your own vagina. And even after all this time...its still sandy...funnel still in place..trucks standing by.

BTW..putting "administrator" as your custom user title is gay.

So I'm not the only one that thinks this way.

AH! I didn't know they weren't 4 piston... Then whats so friggin special about cobra/mach brakes??

Just bigger rotors? and harder pressing pistons?

99+ twin piston GT calipers and pads are actually just as powerful (they're used on most corvettes over the past 10 years) as the cobra/mach caliper. The real difference is in rotor diameter and thus swept area (the area contacted by the pad in 1 rotation). The greater diameter/area means more friction and more capacity to absorb and dissipate the heat generated by that friction.

There are differences in a few of the years and models as to piston diameter but all in all, the diameter increase at the rotor is the gain.

The cobra R and GT500 brakes that are 4 piston use those extra pistons to more evenly apply the clamping load to the pads so that they more efficiently generate friction over their whole surface area where a single large piston won't be so even about the load distribution. More even distribution heats the pads more evenly and you get less brake fade and better bite. Twin pistons are a half measure... it's better than a single piston but doesn't solve the face:face differences in pressure or the fact that aluminum calipers flex under extreme load and unbalance the application of clamping load. 4 piston calipers improve that situation by spreading the load over more of the caliper so no 1 spot gets vastly more than another. Decreased caliper deflection and increased heat generation means faster braking and less wear and tear and reduced fade, etc...

EDIT: and for krenogin, that was a really good question. Most people never even decide to understand the actual answer much less ask that question despite its importance.
