I've been racing on 2WD rear discs and calipers and the rear pads have been wearing away very quickly because of the heat. Now switched to 4WD set up at the back with vented discs and see less pad wear and presumably cooler rear brakes. I couldn't say that I've noticed much improvement in braking though.

hi thanks for the advice, knew it was a better idea than running 2wd just wasnt sure of the fitting of them.. so if i got the 4x4 rear calipers and discs they just bolt onto the original holes the 2wd one are bolted to ?

thanks to all
