What are differential bores?

Differential piston bores are used to control brake pad taper. As incandescent material and debris from the leading edge of the pad is trapped between the pad and rotor, it tends to float the trailing edge of the pad off the rotor. A larger piston at the trailing edge of the pad provides more pressure to compensate for this debris buildup and keep the pad flat against the rotor.
