Scott

it depends - some people want to save every last kg in weight for performance reasons - me personally, i could do with more space in the back of my car for work reasons. because of some of the equipment i carry. i'm always putting the rear seats down which are never used TBH. some may do it because they think it's "cool", i'm sure there are lots of reasons!

Has this Mid Brake Kit idea moved forward at all ?. Seemed a promising idea to me.
