Pulled from the Wayback Machine off the old Mazspeed website.
Symmetrical upright, caliper bracket bolts to it, someone did this.
Rolls Royce did this in the 70's and 80's to get enough braking to stop their unbelievably heavy cars inside a 14" wheel with an 80 series tire. They didn't want to ruin the ride quality by going to a lower profile tire.
What they wound up with was a braking system that overheated quickly and because you weren't pressing on a master cylinder there was no pedal feedback to tell you why you weren't stopping anymore
