| I don't think it matters since the purpose of the dual system is to have a 2nd set if the first doesn't work. If it mattered i would think the two systems would be stacked one over the other to be as close to the same spot as they could. Since they are 180 degs apart i don't think it matters. 302-786-1078 slickvic@slickvicracing.com slickvic@slickvicracing.com www.slickvicracing.com302-786-1078 Dealer for most major brands, including Simpson, Necksgen, Hans, Strange, Moser, Amsoil, Aerospace, Digital Delay, Hoosier, M/T, Goodyear, Redhorse, MSD, Racepak, Lucas, and more.

| On mine the original brakes were on rear and when I added the second system the other calipers were on front. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |

| It makes no difference for stopping power. If you mount them on the front side (leading), small gravel can sit on top of the pad and gouge the rotor. Moving the calipers to the rear, you won't have that problem. That is, assuming that the majority of your braking is applied during forward motion. Gouging is a much bigger issue with aluminum rotors, which are not common in our form of racing, but I'd think you'd like to minimize that opportunity with steel rotors, too.

That makes sense right there
Most important, keep the shiny side up

I had MW brakes on my Nova and the rears could go either way, when I called to inquire the guy said and I quote ...... The caliper don't give a shyt which side it's on lol
I have a fabricated 9" waiting to go in my Nova. One side has the caliper on the leading edge, and the other has the caliper trailing. The rear was originally built for a first-gen Camaro, and the guy at Moser knew that because of the caliper orientation. I can't recall the reason for it though.
