each little circley thing is a piston aka a 'pot' there are 4 on one side of the caliper, and 4 on the other, hence 8 pot. normal suby 4 pots have 2 on each side.... make sense?

can you tick a box when ordering them to state how much flex you would like in the bulkheads?

more pistons over the pad area means you get a more equal application of pressure to the pad itself on the disc, meaning better rotor grabd and braking..

however, china brakes = poo

you can get a set of 8 piston brembo's all be it off an indy car so second hand for a dab over 4k, why use something inferior like china brakes
