That is what puzzles me too. My powdercoating business centers around brake calipers and I have broken down and rebuilt just about every mainstream caliper out there, brembo, akebono, stoptech, AP, rotora, etc, and I can't visually see anything much different, other than having the fluid go from side to side internally rather than with a crossover tube, but I can't imagine that makes a huge difference, based on hydraulic principles. Then again, I'm no engineer either.
I do know that the massive brembo monoblocs work awesome on the track though!!!!!
