      Theoretically the pad will not generate more heat as compared to a larger pad plus more exposed rotor surface area will carry the heat away from the pad surface.

      As far as braking force, with the same caliper and piston size. Applied force should remain the same regardless of pad size.



      I wonder if there is a calculation for stopping distance/time change
