Over the past few years, its seems like more and more regular cars have multi-piston brake calipers like the new subaru impreza. 10 or 15years ago, even performance oriented cars didn’t frequently have those until you went pretty far up market. And it doesn’t seem like it is for marketing, since it isn’t often advertised. If single piston calipers were good for an audi s4, why does a new subaru impreza need multi-piston calipers? have there been developments in cost or technology?
Why stop advancing anything? Why even make new cars at all? Let’s just sell the old ones. Why even go to work? Since we put that aside as unreasonable. People need a thing to do. And at car companies that’s tinkering with stuff
it was more of a is the increased complexity worth it or is it a spec sheet arms race?
