calipers

[t5tart]

i guess there is a difference between front and rear calipers on the 850

I am assuming the fronts have bigger pistons etc having not measured them

but does anyone know if the front calipers will fit on the rear ??


reason being i am upgrading the fronts an d think it might be a good ideal to put the front calipers on the rear

any thoughts on this

The fronts are a single piston sliding affair and the rears are fixed with a piston either side. The rear caliper is relatively small compared with the fronts. I think I've seen a bracket that allows you to use S60R rear calipers if you want better braking at the back.

If your going to use the S60R rear calipers, then you will definately need 4pots upfront. Im not sure what your planning for the front, but just bare that in mind, otherwise the rear will want to pass the front every time you press the brake pedal :)
