Hi Matt,
Hoping for a bit of advise for my AU XR8. I've previously upgraded the front brakes to 330 mm RDA069s and HPX pads using brackets and longer hoses which has made the car stop a lot better, although it was fairly dear at $750 and 2 days of messing around. Looks good in the front wheels too :-) The opportunity has now presented to upgrade the rears to BF1 XR8 with RDA discs and HPX pads for about $350 and a day of stuffing around. I have the calipers already and so would need to buy discs and pads. I can do all the work myself. What I'm wondering is, given that the majority of braking is supposed to be done at the front wheels, would I actually notice any difference with the bigger rear brakes? Thanks if you can advise. Matt |
