carl0s Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Chris we both know they will work alot better that jap brakes, set up correctly. dont be mistaken i have built alot of cars from imps to skylines. I have been in game for 18yrs and wouldnt do anything i wasnt sure about. I know but I think he was referring to the 'not the driven wheels' comment, which I have to say had me frowning a bit. When braking all the weight goes to the front obviously - the front brakes have a hell of a lot more work to do than the rear, so the fact that the fronts aren't the driven wheels doesn't really mean the front calipers have an easier job does it.

No they dont but its just another cosideration factor in what does and doesnt matter, I toatally understand weights and bias its not f1 and i am 100% they will do the job. I tryed to explain without sounding clever as some people are not engineers, theres lots i dont know but i have exellent help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I wouldn't mind a drawing, I could then offer the calipers as an upgrade kit to someone. I can probably get some more calipers if there was a demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
