I searched and read through I don't know how many PH articles on brake upgrades but cannot seem to find a decent answer/perspective on appropriate rear brake upgrade when upgrading the front.
I am considering front brake replacement from standard for a 1992 Griff 430 on 15" rims using the kit that Hans is offering. These come with 283x24 mm discs.

I would like to do the rears at the same time if possible but am wondering on what folks here think on sizing/weight for front/rear balance. I have seen some posts about leaving them the way they are to going up to 300mm on the rear under the standard 16" rims.

Any thoughts/experiences much appreciated.

n.b. rear discs need to be replaced anyway either I keep them the size they are or I replace/resize them so if I am going to do it now would be the right time! smile
