So I am pretty set on going with RTM racing's VR4 brake upgrade for the front using 13" rotors and such. I will also hopefully be triming my fenders and running 17x9 wheels with a 25 or so offset with some flares to keep stuff covered. My question in, can I keep the proportion of braking on the rear brakes by moving my AWD front calipers and rotors, to the rear or is that not possible? I realize some people use VR4 single piston rears as they are larger too and can keep an emergency brake. They seem hard to find though.

Just get brembos for the rear.
Look for +28 or +30 they will sit in side the car. That is why I traded off my 17x9 +25 rims for a set of bbs evo mr's. It got tired of the cutting the tires and always rubbing even rolled and a bit of a pull and a lot of camber.

Thanks for the heads up on the wheel offset man! I will definitely keep that in mind when I get them. What size tires would work with a 17x9 +28 and still be nice and wide without rubbing? I don't wanna roll if I don't have to cause that means trimming carbon up front...

And I'll check out the Brembos, hopefully I can score a decent deal on all 4 brakes instead of two different sets that add up.

Hm would any wider be better or just be too rolly polly on the side wall?
