Tobin has definitely has options, but we both agreed that Ford ends provide the better options and the fronts were manditory. What's your set up and real world experience?

I'm not a fan of knock-back especially on a bike, when you're timing braking points to split seconds, double-tapping to get pedal doesn't make for smooth corner transitions.

Having most of my aggressive racing or track experience on motorcycles on asphalt and dirt, weight transfer seriously reduces the amount of rear brake effectiveness. In my observations most people have a lot more rear breaking force than they need or use, though mid or rear engine cars change that opinion. So I could be out thinking myself a little on rear brake systems, but more due to knock-back issues than braking force.
