Re: leading vs trailing.
It makes no difference at all. The caliper clamps the disk and creates a moment (torque). Torque= FORCE x DISTANCE. The FORCE is the clamping force of the caliper, and the DISTANCE is just the radius of the disk. Therefore position doesn't make a difference. Just make sure you can bleed the caliper when positioned.
I've considered mounting a caliper on the bottom, in order to lower the centre of gravity of a car. The problem is bleeding, but then I was considering making a caliper mount with two sets of 'ears'. One to position the caliper in the bottom position, and the second to move the caliper to the side for bleeding purposes. Maybe one day when I have more time...
