[QUOTE="BlackBolt9, post: 9840683, member: 36489"] That is following the conservation of energy thing more so than the temperature of equilibrium. You are stopping the same weight, quicker but in a shorter time gives off the same amount of heat energy to the system. Therefore the total amount of energy into the system stays the same, either way you brake, therefore making no change except that you do get a longer time to cool them off so you end up with a longer period to remove heat from the system. This should in theory actually lower your average brake temperature, but I am guessing it is a rather small amount that may even be negligible. The temperature of equilibrium is the temperature the system is at when everything stabilizes out. I do agree that this temperature could be different for the larger brakes than the smaller ones (since the larger brakes have more surface area to dissipate heat). The thing I was trying to get across was that I don’t think that chart is accurate and I DON’T THINK that there will be that large of a difference. But I also haven't done back to back comparisons or the mathematics to determine that OPINION. I'm just giving my thoughts from what I've seen working with 14" brake systems on Mustangs. [/QUOTE]
