I recently bought new rear calipers, redid the front BMW brakes up front and installed HAWK race pads up front. The braking has significantly improved! YES! but now i have one dilema......The front brakes lock up EASILY and the rears never at all..........I wish i could make all them lock up in emergency situations or at least more Braking in the rear.
Did i just significantly make the front brakes better by installing new race pads and BMW brakes? Can i adjust anything with the stock rear system to get more pressure to the back so i dont lock up the front VERY EASILY??? thanks guys i appreciate your help..... Stock 1.7 liter GOING SUBARU 2.5 200 hp N/A soon!! Trying to make everything else PERFECT before i get my third Subaru done.....The braking was lacking on my last conversion...... thanks!

As much as anyone would hate to admit it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , I have to agree with Eric on this... I think anytime you hear yourself about to say the word "upgrade" you should ask yourself if you think you are smarter than a Porsche engineer. In some cases new technology has come along but this is not an upgrade. It would be much better to get the heat out of the rotor than a bigger clamper... Venting - Gud! Cooling - Gud! Better pads - Gud! Bigger calipers without the other three - Not Gud!
