    I’m constantly considering TRD BBK. But I don’t want my rear to then be so small. I was wondering if anyone has put the front brakes on the rear? Does anybody make a bracket to do such a thing or a kit?

    75% of your braking is done by the front. That is where your weight is. You put those big things on your ass end and your abs would go off every time it rained.

    Yeah your brake bias would be totally screwed. Not a good thing to attempt for looks.

    So how would increasing braking power in the front but not the rear make things out of balance. That doesn’t make any sense. StopTech who makes the BBK even makes a BBK for the rear. So does that throw the bias off too? Doesn’t make any sense to me. I had an Lexus SC300 dit Turbo Supra brakes on the front. Bigger brakes and when I did the rear TT brakes it balanced it out. How would this be any different?

    engineering the pistons on the calipers keep the distribution right. you go throwing 4 pots on the rear with massive pistons like the front it'll screw with pedal feel and abs like no other. the stoptech kit is designed to work within the restraints of the factory master and abs motor. you get more performance but without ruining the feel or streetability
