Default Rear caliper location.

Howdy all yet another question!

Should the calipers be mounted forward or on the back of the rear upright? Im using the uprights that have the disc bracket turned slightly.

Handbrake cable is the problem,ideal situation is front calipers to rear of front hub and rear calipers to front of rear hub for weight transfer and balance during braking and thats how I have fitted them to the Teamtrain/Saturn race car I am building.
