I am going to design the braking system for our car. I really need some parameters of the brakes available to conduct my calculations. Many thanks!

F=ma
f_friction=mu*normal force
weight transfer = weight x cg height / wheelbase x g
torque=F*radius
When you have the numbers to fill in those equations, (any performance pad manufacturer should have information about the mu of their pads, and you should know your master cylinder sizes) it's just simple engineering calculations. Given how many variables there are for what you can choose, no one here has time to tell you specifically what to use and how to calculate it, we'd never get our own cars done. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
If you need ideas of parts to use, the list of materials on the FSAE online website has a list of cost report adjusted costs for a lot of parts commonly used. It's a good overview of things that might work for you.

Visit FSG website in technical part you will find what you want and keep searching

Tilton has a wide range of master cylinders, and Brembo and AP Racing all have listed diameters of their calipers. That should be plenty to get you started.
