that is the way I understand it.
the larger MC moves more fluid but at less pressure.

I have different calipers front to rear. I have dual piston HOWE calipers up front and single piston (but very large at 3+ inches) in the rear.
but they both use the same size pad.

here is a site I read.

pressure= Force on MC/ area of MC.

so if area gets bigger, pressure goes down.


I swapped lines going to the MC's so the smaller is now on the front.
