REAR brake upgrade

[macdeb]

Has anybody any recommendations for the upgrading of the rear brakes on a Chimaera/Griffith at all? Done the fronts and want to bring the rears into line. Thinking of same size replacement disc with different calliper. I know a few have upgraded the fronts and like myself would like to do similar with rears. Cheers.

I've got the 300mm Compbrake kit. Bolts straight on It's still early doors so I can't review them very well I'm afraid but the car certainly seems more balanced.

Discussed here

To add to what's already on there, I ended up having to file the calipers as they were scuffing the discs under cornering (that's a lot of twisting going on somewhere!)

I've just swapped to a different compound on the front but once I've had time to bed them in I should be able to give a final verdict.

I have Tamora rears on mine - works very well.

Cheers so far guys, but 'DON1' I think you may have 5 stud discs if from the Tamora with 16" spider set up. Is that so? Correct me if I'm wrong only, I'm looking at retaining the original 4 stud set up. Any other ideas before I decide? Was thinking of the Hi-Spec upgrade but have conflicting reports about it, also same story when I've spoke to them. Any more takers/experiences?

I have always been led to believe that the chim is rear biased in the first place therefore uprating the fronts in isolation achieved a better braking balance anyway. Certainly simply upping fronts made mine feel better.

I actually did the maths
