We are going on 20 years now with complaints of the Brembo Lotus (328x28 / 36-40 piston) brake balance.
I had two thoughts I wanted to throw out there.
Option 1: Spoon monoblocks using a RB larger front disk. I have seen different numbers reported for the spoon monoblock piston sizes, but several report they are close to the F40 caliper piston size. Can anyone confirm? This effectively would re-create the F40/lotus combo without need for custom disks. Only drawback I can see is need for custom brackets and pad selection is coupled to s2k pad availability. I also don’t know what caliper weight is for the Spoon monoblock or the RB disks (ie is the combined weight any lighter than the brembo Lotus setup?)
Option 2:
Brembo offered a special order monoblock rear setup using the ‘P’ caliper family: a 345x28 32-32 piston setup. My back of napkin math suggests using this rear instead of the standard lotus 328x28 rear with the standard brembo front should give a brake bias of mid 50s, all while keeping a nice pedal feel.
I would appreciate thoughts or if these have been discussed in the past. If they were discussed before, I apologize as I only causally visit since selling my old NA2
