Whats the 996 weigh ??

That pad is small.. The clamping force may be equal or better as a stand alone figure, but how does the larger surface area of "our" 135 pad play into that.. there has to be a benefit to = clamping force spread out over more brake pad surface area.

ill look for that calculation
Pad size has no effect on friction, only effects the heat capacity of the pad.

I highly suggest OP reads some of the whitepapers on the Stoptech site http://www.stoptech.com/technical-su...l-white-papers
