Brakes - Fronts on rear
by Muad_dib77 » Mon Sep 10, 2007 5:57 pm
Did anybody ever try if a pair of front GPX calipers fits on the rear?

No, and I wouldn't want to! You'd upset the breaking balance something fierce, bear in mind that the rears only do 20-30% of braking with the foot planted on the brake pedal.

Aah yes that's right had forgotten about that..
-> Seb no - it was just an idea I had - that if I was to stick BIG brakes on the front it might be an idea to stick larger brakes on the rear as well - to balance the breaking..
-> CJ Yeah you're probably right - unless the front brakes are equally uprated to throw the balance out in the first place..
