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!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Eric is the man, heed his words and you too may have many wives of your own (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) On second thought, I can only handle the one I have (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I have talked with Eric over the phone about brake combinations for a few hours and this guy knows what he is talking about. Not only that but he has the goods to get you what you really want and he will try to SAVE you money. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |
