Subject:  Re: Budget upgrade for brakes

Tom,

I agree that adding an extra set of rear calipers is the easiest thing. I've done this on my car and have some pics if you want to see. Contact me for more info.
An extra set of original rear calipers is not a good choice I think. The car needs more than that to get balanced. I added 4 piston calipers and still don't lock the rears.
With the dual caliper setup the rear rotors will start getting real hot too, especially if they're not ventilated.

What is the best choice to upgrade break system (74 L)on a budget? I
have already switched to braided lines to remove flex. Have new
(stock)pads...all remaining systems rebuilt (stock) and working
properly. Would like more stopping power. Please assist. Thanks Tom
