LOL DJ Hache in the mix. Yeah I am still one crazy cat.
Just got back from Brno after free practice day one. Some nice DTMs out there for those who are into superlow front V8 engines and interiors that look out of a spaceship
Personal stuff aside, what Kyle is saying is perfectly correct (?!) since the driver just shifts the balance a bit to account for a lower min deceleration so less wt transfer. I would guess this is also linked to the springs you are running and the ride heights. Oh dear, I ve already found more ways to make the problem complex.
As for the pad modulus, I would say in something like sportscars, F1, Indy etc it would be quite noticeable. I would say even changing to a harder compound on your day car might have some effect (provided there are no air leaks in the system making your pedal already very soft.)
How noticeable is this gonna be? Ummm, I think the deformation in the hoses and the brake fluid will make up a large percentage of brake squidginess (new term for your Pi Toolbox channel). I know our FSAE car had a very stiff pedal but then we had a short travel AP master cyl and the leverage ratio was small so the pedal did not move much at all. Kind of weird. Dunno if good idea or not for the driver to brake relying on foot pressure and little/no foot travel.
Say hi to Jeff at Cranfield and enjoy your beer at the CSA.
