on the rears doubt it would make any difference either way... you'll only 'feel' the fronts....

when the rears are restored from crap to good (lol) there is usually a noticable difference in stopping distance tho... :mrgreen:

lol.. The rears do get surprisingly seized up over time if left too long...

was working on #14 today and the rears needed a lot of work.... as well as the calipers getting pretty glued up, the carrier sliders on both sides were also seized... with a bit of perceverence, brake cleaner, air gun and grease i managed to give them another year or two of life... :mrgreen: as soon as the boots get damaged their days are numbered.. :idea:
:lol:
