Abstract

A disc brake assembly provides a caliper (22) cooperating with a pair of friction pads (16, 18) to brake a rotor (20). A piston assembly (28) is carried by the caliper 22 and is constructed from a pair of pistons (42, 42) and a resilient member 44. The pistons (40, 42) form an auxiliary pressure chamber (52) which cooperates with the resilient member (44) to control movement between the pair of pistons (40, 42).
