Rear brake upgrade?

Post by will_kdy » Wed Sep 21, 2022 11:26 am

Hi all :bigwave:

I'm fortunate enough to own an avant with ceramic front brakes and it's time to replace the rears, i'm more than likely going with Reyland floating but was thinking of going with the larger 360mm disks with the caliper relocations included, however i don't want to upset the braking balance, i would like better braking of course but aesthetics are the first reason, would upgrading hamper or improve the braking? As far as I know the rears are the same as cars without ceramics so the fronts are already upgraded as such. Also what pads are the best for the rear? Ive heard ds2500 but can't find rears cheers

Any imput would be greatly recieved :notworthy:
