Hi all

I was wondering if it would be possible to use to different types of brake calipers on a car.What I would like to do is make a custom semi trailing arm suspension setup for a car but the the spindles I am going to be using in the rear of the car is from a different car.So can some one please enplane to me about brake booster size....etc and if you think something like this can work?

Well... the number of pistons and thier diameter has to be aligned... as that directly correlated to pressure... other then that I see kbnow issue with it...
In Fact Rifht now I am looking at using C6 6 piston fronts and Lexus floating rears... :-)

pressure = Force/Area #pistons and diameter of them will make up your area.

here is a decent link (and embedded links) to get you started http://sports.racer.net/brake_bias.htm
