    Rear Brake Calipers.

    Hi

    Hopefully someone can give me some direction.

    My Rear End has the calipers set to the rear.Some pictures show them set to the front of the disc.

    Do they have to be set to the front or will it be Ok if they are set to the rear?


    Thanks

    Rob

    I don't think it matters as far as braking is concerned. The cables for the E-brk may be an issue or not.

    I was told at the build school, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that they should go on the front of axle. Apparently as the pads wear the calliper can bump into the rear shock/spring.
