With independent rear suspension the axles are held stationary in the hubs and don't float in and out so you can fix four pot calipers to the hubs. If you mount the Brembo calipers to the axle housing of a SRA and the axles float it will push the pistons back, called slap back, and the pedal will have to travel a long distance to push the pistons back out to the surface of the rotors. This can be so bad as to have to pump up the brake before they start to work. A couple of people have tried it and reported on their failure. I was able to do it by floating the Brembo calipers.

Hi 908ssp,

Can you please tell me more about this setup and if it's available for sale.

Buy a Brembo decal and put it on your rear calipers if you are so concerned with the look.

Baer announced at SEMA a system I believe is intended for our cars. It changes the way the axles are held in I believe allowing none floating calipers.
