182 Brake Upgrade?

[dmn1989]

bit random, could you make the Front 182 Brakes fit the rear axle and function effectively?

thinking about upgrading the fronts to 4pots so dont want tiny ones on the rear.

any advice would be good

hi, if you can find it in the UK, front caliper from citroen BX are a perfect fit..... mono piston in 54mm if i recon perfectly and they are equipe with a similar handbrake system , wich allow you to keep you handbreak working...

The rear brakes do very little anyway don't they?

I heard it was like 75/25 or 80/20 with front to rear ratio.

yes but if you put big brake in the front you have to adjust you ratio front/rear or install big brake at the rear... otherwise you wont use the threshold of your brake anymore.
