Message	It's a fundamental consideration when upgrading your brake system. Like proper wheel offset, you can make a poor choice 'fit', but you're not modding for a purpose, you're modding for the sake of modding. If you fuck your brake bias up, you burn up pads, stress components, reduce performance and generally haven't improved anything.
