sorry but, i gotta ask
the dual caliper setup on the new ACR Viper and Daijiro's S13 are rather inspiring to me, can anyone provide insight. it'd be greatly appreciated?

i saw what you're talking about on Dai's silvia, that's pretty radical. but is it not only on the rear wheels? i'd guess one is for normal braking, the other for drifting?

Thats what I meant, but still dual calipers would heat up the brakes like whoah.

Thats a lot of break, it doesnt seem more efficient though, seems sweet though.

back wheels only. one set setup to a hydraulic hand brake that way you can lock the rear wheels easier than a inline system.
