Bigger rear brakes for SWB?

Is there any option for bigger brakes on the rear of a swb?

i have way to much front bias and would love an option to go bigger in the rear..

I already have a bias knob but its full open!

thanks

_nick

You can go S option pretty easy. Be careful though as a strong rear bias will make your SWB much more likely to swap ends.

Nick,

You are pretty much limited by the narrow spacing of the rear mounts at 2.5" for the Ate 'L' calipers. If you contemplated installing spacers to widen the current calipers to 'S' specs ... you could have some made up with an extra 4 mm of thickness and adapt 3.2 Carrera rotors with greater thermal mass that wouldn't be harmed by some more aggressive pads.

You could widen the front 'M' calipers the same way and use the Carrera rotors up front, too!
