brake questions?
Someone told me to put four piston brakes on front and rear? Can I do this? Would it be beneficial? I've never actually thought of putting four piston on front and rear. LOL

Nope, 4 piston was only on the front. I think all FC's had single piston rears, and thats all they needed.

I know they came with only front 4 piston. but is it possible to put four piston on the rear as well? Just curious? My friend is curious if it will have any benefit for him in drifting?

There's not really any benefit, it'll just screw up the brake bias.

You can put 4 more pistons in your engine too... that would make 8 total!

you should tell him that it'll help his braking more for drifting if he just goes through every race with the e-brake pulled..... the rear brakes will have more uhhh "drifting" control
