Will it not mess with brake biasing having all that stopping power on the back?

If not I want some too! Purely for looks!

Only 30% of braking effort from the rear brakes

Where can I get these massive brakes haha!

I was actually researching twin pots for the rear to stop the annoying binding calliper problem but couldn't find a replacement.

Yeah, the binding rear calipers are a legacy of the Honda derived calipers having the handbrake function as part of the caliper, at least the Honda boys have the same problem with them as we do.

I'll dig the email and numbers out later for you buddy, nathan with the supercharged zed has 330 wilwoods on the back, where i got the details from. They are basically the kit from an integra!

The look is a big-ish factor for me too, looks odd with 330mm on front and standard zs on the back

Nope - mine are fitted to the ZS now.

just had to get new brackets made up as the ones I got in the kit were past their best in rally_matt's eyes.

I have a very thin spacer on the hub side I recall matt saying to help with clearance, but nothing else was changed stud wise, and they happily fit under the ultralegguras.

I have to say it is even worse with the smaller 'standard' TD disk on the back.

It is exceptionally obvious that almost all the stopping is done by the front, and because the front heavy bias it does make the squirming under exceptionally heavy breaking a little more obvious as a result.

on the plus side you dont need to really weigh the anchor quite as often when you have stopping like this, as mine are certainly good enough to catch a dozy following driver out and result in a nasty shunt - so I am a lot more careful now about hard stops than i was before lol

I have spoken with Matt a number of times about balancing the rear, but he like most of us, is not aware of anything that has a 'better' time with the handbrake side of things or we can get our hands on without spending silly money.... something I have been keeping my eye on but not really looking for as a result.

Fairly sure that the guy with the BRG Mk1 saloon that he was using on the track - OllieZS maybe ??? - had a Willwood set up done for his one and he rated it.
