This allows the master cylinder to send the rt amount of fluid/pressure across the chassis so that one wheel- or set of wheels- will not be out of balance with the others. Pretty smart. Of course, this is not done on the basis of future brake upgrades, but to balance out the system as it wears pads and rotors at different rates front to rear.
I did jut put six pots on my X5 and it is very firm. The pad surface area over my previous StopTech 4 calipers is very big even though the rotors are the same size.

Nice. Its time for you to provide some pictures of the eye candy and take the pressure off of me.
