I was of the impression these forums are here for people who arent in the know or owners of the same make car to gain knowledge or advice and tips from fellow owners who are experienced or who have had experience with a certain model, there are a lot of owners out there who havent got a clue how a car works, thats their whole point of coming on here, not to be made to feel uncomfortable or be belittled with negative comments or sarcasm, they are genuinely seeking helpful advice and dont expect to be sneered at, thats what i think anyways

why would upgarding the rears be pointless? maybe on a standard car yes, im pushing 300bhp tho and would like to upgrade, if its not too expensive. So, il ask again, can anyone point me in the direction of the article about putting S60R rear calipers on my S70? Cheers
