that would throw the brake balance of the car way off, almost all of your braking comes from the front end and is also the only spot you will have fade problems if ever.

Why all the talk about upgrading the brakes? the stock 4 pot's on this vehicle are insane and the replacement parts are very cheap. The brakes on these cars made my rx8 look like my mustang.....and that car's brakes stock is basically like driving a truck.

Very, very interesting. Good read. I doubt I'll every make it a reality for my n/a vert, but perhaps I'll test this out for myself in the future. Once I have a car I can build that isn't my daily to experiment with, that is.
