Default Upgrade Brakes

i was thinking of upgrading my calipers.

here's my thinking

replace the front caliper with a brembo performance caliper
replace the rear caliper with the front stock caliper

you think this is possible with little to no mods?

Whats the point? I get excellent braking power with stock rotors and pads provided by Atlantic British. I'm sure it is possible, I just don't see the point unless you are racing... Or stopping suddenly and gunning it all the time.

Middleman496,
Save your money for the big ticket items that await you and your rover. This advice was told to me when I first got my rover and now I pass the advice to you.

Yeah, with a Range Rover there will be plenty of things to spend money on.

It may be cheaper and easier to just sell it and buy a newer RR sport supercharged. Unless of course you are looking for a unique project...
