Default Brembo Big Brake Teaser...

Just got these in today, I'll save the full details after its done. I don't think anyone has ever done what I'm doing here yet, so it'll be an "interesting" setup...

enjoy!

If they are the exactly the same caliper, piston sizer & rotor size F & R , then you are going to have way too much rear brake bias, unless you have a proportioning valve.

If that's the case, then this is a real dangerous combo.

There may be a good reason why it's never been done before.


Kids, don't try this at home.

Thanks for your concern, but TMEngineering has it under control

Yes, if you don't have a competent mechanic, please do not try this at home...good thing I live in SoCal and Todd is the best one around...

Yep, Todd's da man.
I know you want to save the full details until after its done, but at least clue us in to the plan- do the bolt holes line up?
If not, do you plan to make a bracket, or drill the caliper and/or hub assembly to make it fit?

Tony you big baller! I'm surprised that you can actually get these to fit with your wheels.
