[200q20v] Re: Brake clamping forces

[Joseph Vanzeipel]

A popular hotrodding article I read recently may have some insight.  They
said that a dual sided caliper has less deflection than a single sided
caliper.  In practice, a dual sided caliper is more reliable because of it's
design, it won't "twist" (or deflect) under heavy braking.
