not something you can use in an IT car, then, the rotors and calipers have
to stay stock.

in the alfetta, one reason i'm less concerned about the rears is that
the exhaust doesn't go near them (hint: it's a race car in a class with
an unrestricted exhaust.) additionally, i have an inline proportioning
valve, and push most of the braking effort to the front in dry weather.
as such, i feel that it's the fronts i need to worry about, given that
they're rather undersized for the vehicle.
