I accidentally came across a video on Youtube that showed someone installing a dual caliper brake system. I started wondering if this is an option for people who want to keep the 13" wheels but get more braking power.
Has anyone done this? The creator of the video was doing this on a drift car having the second caliper attached to a hydraulic e-brake, but he showed how you could run a T from the existing brake line to both calipers for normal use.
If anyone has done this, what difference in braking poer did you experience?
Thanks!

Re: Dual Brake Calipers?
There are performance brake kits that fit most 13 inch wheels.

Re: Dual Brake Calipers?
you could not simply 'Tee in'. you would need a different master cylinder to deal with the increase in required fluid flow.
