Toying with modding my brakes a litte more

[D3bb4]

bigger is always better, they will still be better than std, i know my brakes are better even at low speed.

Disagree. You're increasing unlaiden mass. Worse for acceleration/braking in some regards (similar to putting heavy ass chrome rims on).

Practicality wise: bigger brakes are only better for track work, as they handle heat dissipation better/don't fade as easily.

Here's some really tiny brakes working just fine in a race scenario.

I think if you have the chance to do the rears, why not. You can always change them back and sell the 288's if they adversely affect your car.

I always thought there was supposed to be a brake valve that sat between the front and rear brakes, Proportioning valve maybe ? That would prevent the rear locking before fronts. But yeah, I reckon the electronics would have no problems with bigger rears.

Some interesting articles on this website about enlarging rear brakes as well as changing your brakes in general. Makes for some very interesting reading.
