Default Upgrading of rear brake

Hi guys,

I was intending to upgrade my brakes, but was inform that by changing the rear brakes, it will affect the LSD, braking bias and maybe some of the controls.

I am wondering has anyone did the upgrade of their rear brakes?

Rear brakes do what...10-15% of the vehicles braking? If any upgrades are needing it is to the fronts.

The only upgrades I'd do on the rear is a caliper paint job.

Unless you're using the car on a race track, or fleeing police pursuit, no brake upgrade front or rear will have any practical value besides looks.

If you wanna stop better, get better tires- they're what stop the car after all.
