I've often wondered if mounting the caliper in front of the spindle vs behind affects the design "dive" characteristics of the suspension under hard braking situations. I don't know the answer, just asking for other opinions.
The suspension will work the same.
Just for grins, I have wondered if moving the calipers to the rear could even affect the Fr/Rr center of gravity? Yeah, it is probably so small of a change it isn't worth mentioning.
I mean, in theory, yes. You'd move the CG of the car back, which would effect weight transfer, which would also effect the amount of dive on braking.
But you're gonna have to go right of the decimal to see the difference, and you sure as heck won't feel it. I mean we're talking infinitesimal. The difference in dive you probably can't even measure by any normal means, you'd be well within the margin for error with any kind of reasonable test. The CG you could calculate, but again, I seriously doubt it would even show up on the "whole numbers" side of the decimal.
You're not moving enough weight far enough to make a difference that anyone would notice in a normal application.
