Rear brake Kits, Can I?

Hi,


I was looking into getting some Brembo 2 piston Calipers for the back. Is this something that can not be done or can i go ahead and order? Same kits as you see on the STI's and EVO's rear brakes.

i was told on the ss/sc u can install a Z06 Brake kit, i would assume the ss/tc is capable of supporting the same setup.

Why not the braking power and the fact that the current rear brakes are eating up my rear disk I want to fix that.

singles in the back would be more then enough... im going to be looking into this shortlet...i cant stand the fact that they only put brembos in the front while every other manufacteur can put it on all fours.

i guess nobody uses their e-brakes? If we get the brembo in the back say bye bye e-brake, unless you want to get another single piston caliper for your e-brake thats mad coin

if you get a rear brake upgrade kit, you also have to upgrade the front so your braking power is correctly distributed something like 70 front 30 back

I love them!! I have not been to the track yet with them but have done some very "aggressive" back road driving *wink, wink* And i cant say enough good about them. Hell they are even good in the rain. I would recommend them to anybody looking for the best track tire out there (twisty)!
