Suspension, Brakes, Tires & Wheels - Random questionView Full Version : Random question reaper2022 08-01-2007, 04:46 PM I was flipping through the pages of the August Super Street issue (great issue.. both EK's are absolutely beautiful) when I thought of something... does brake caliper placement reallymake a difference? Like, is there a specific spot on the rotorthat brake calipers work best, or is it just wherever thecar's designersthink looks cool? civicexracer 08-01-2007, 04:55 PM better and/or multiple pistons for more harsh racingconditions i would imagine.

H1s use inboard discs to help keep the brakes clear of debris. Many hi-po cars place the brakes for best cooling, which may be altered with ducted bodywork. Most other vehicles don't really matter as long as they drain muck and cool sufficiently. |
