'75 Duster B body front brake upgrade impressions wanted

You are completely right. Not sure how I overlooked that repeatedly.

Supposed to be lb/inches or lb/feet. Pretty sure the article had it right, I just completely biffed it somehow.

Interesting. I was always looking at the '98's or so and not the later ones.

Some of what I based my info on was the old Baer kit that used the same calipers. Don't remember the name (Sport?) other than they called the calipers PGC "Pad Guided Calipers" (I think) because the pad actually clips into the caliper. The next step up was their GT kit with PDC "Pin Driven Calipers" and was basically the C5/6 caliper. Either way, pretty sure they listed the Cobra calipers as 38mm and I didn't see others so I thought they all were. Looks like the '99+ used a bigger piston in the Cobra calipers.

Good stuff. Thanks.

Eh crap happens. I subtracted half the pad width from the diameter instead of the radius.

Yeah the calipers that DoctorDiff is selling with his kit look to be RightStuff signature calipers. I need to measure mine, but they're either 40.3 or 45mm. The calculator is nice, but obviously there's more to it. For example, '03+ Viper calipers are 4 piston, with "only" 40 and 44mm pistons (2 of each). But comparing the calipers to the PBR's, you can see there's far more material and the caliper is much larger. The calculator wouldn't be much different, but the efficiency and heat resistance would be decidedly different because of the additional stiffness and material.
