Is anyone on this list an engineer for Bosch/automotive brake systems...

[Brady Moffatt]

And another thing about that article...

The author mentions "Another important relationship is the pressure-volume
(P-V) characteristic of the system. This relationship defines the swelling
or expansion of the brake system for a given increase in pressure." He then
proceeds to say that some "big-brake" systems drastically alter/reduce the
give or swelling in the system, and can cause "ABS confusion." Guess what?
All their Stop-Tech kits come with "stainless brake lines." Might I assume
that they mean braided S.S. brake hoses? You know, the ones that don't flex.
