Are there any negative to placing the calipers in back of the spindles. I already bolted the spindels on , but am now having second thoughts. I have heard that calipers cool better when mounted on the back due to better air flow.

Specifically do you need any special calipers or can you simple put the passenger side caliper on the drivers side. I'm using sliders off a 75 a body


Thanks Joe

Joe I mounted mine on the back to clear a swaybar, and had no problem with it.

Just make sure your brake hoses clear everything throughout the suspension travel and turning range.
