Partial brake upgrade ???
Since most of the stopping ability is delivered from the front end, would it make $ sense to upgrade the caliper(alum)/rotors (slotted) in the front first ?? Are there any safety concerns with having such unbalanced capability between front-back??
Just trying to brainstorm a way to do the brake upgrade project with only 50% of $ currently available.

Re: Partial brake upgrade ??? (Fast81)
it has been said that going with the SSBC force 10 calapers will make no difference in breaking power. Just llighter calapers.
you could go with slotted rotors. They help reduce break fade, however if this is a daily driver you will not see a need ( unless you live in LA ).
What you can do is upgrade to a Hydroboost system. It will be worth every penny. Here are some reasons why
A:paul The owner is awesome
B: start a post asking the opnions of hydroboost, you will get billions of postive responsices.
C: eazy to install in a weekend
D: paul the owner is awesome
