Front calipers on rear-yea! Rear calipers on rear, less braking power.

Cars have bigger calipers in the front than rear for a reason. That reason is brake bias. Mounting front calipers on the rear would cause the rear tires to lock up under heavy braking and instantly induce a spin.

LOL One person mentioned about putting front calipers on the rear in this thread. And we corrected him. And I agree, it's stupid. This thread is about putting the rear calipers from a 350 Nismo with the Brembo calipers on the rear of a 370Z. Ok? There is another thread that the OP wanted to use front calipers on the rear, and we (tried?) to correct him on that too.
