Message Sure your clamping pressure may be lower, but increased piston area calipers are generally paired with larger diameter rotors. A lower force on a larger lever arm could result in an equal torque, it's just simple math that'd need to be done to check. The main point of going bigger is to improve heat shedding so you can brake just as hard for longer without overheating the pads/rotor.
