On the sprite, the splitter is on the right while the master cylinder is on
the left. I believe that the right front brake actually end up having less
length of brake pipe than the left and hence would have greater pressure.
Since both sides feel the same reduction in pressure from the common pipe
that delivers from the MC to the splitter, and a longer pipe is necessary to
reach back to the left rotor than the right rotor.
