New age Front brembo calipers on the rear
has anyone put a set of front new age brembo calipers on the rear? looking at putting a set of Ap 6 pot's on the front and pondering on upgrding the rears by putting the front claipers on the back, i realise it will need adaptors, but has anyone done it?

Hi
No it cannot be done , you would need a huge diameter disc to fit if you could mount the brackets to the hubs , but then the piston size is too big for a rear caliper and you would never stop it locking the rear wheels up , the front calipers are totally wrong for a rear fitment Hope this helps Cheers Ian |
What about Subaru 4 pots on the rear?

As Ian said, you really don't want to be locking the rear wheels up. Don't go too big on the rears, std brembo rears will be fine with a decent front setup.

its basically to stop a 500bhp full weight hawk sti.

I'm pretty sure you could easily lock up the rears at any speed with just a set of rear brembo 2 pots (and probably even single piston no name's) under threshold braking on the fronts if the balance was set up as such. So much weight will shift to the front that the rears really do very little under extreme braking and the balance is in stopping them locking up rather than giving them more braking force.

Out of curiosity what are peoples thoughts on rear pads? Given they take far less punishment than the front is the consensus that you can put some cheaper pads on the rear even for track work?
F1 is quite interesting as they fiddle with the brake bias quite a lot, the downforce of the rear wing means the rear axle has different force applied through it is slow corners compared to fast corners so the weight transfer of the braking might be much more significant in a slow corner compared to a quick corner meaning less or more bias to the rear is needed. |
I usually match my fronts and rears.

your post applies to high performing Front WD cars but not High Performance 4WD / RWD cars................in particular on 4wd you need the car to pull itslef down evenly to get the maximum retardation possible |
