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!

Just because I don't know if Eric is checking in today....
Well, with the way you have everything set up you would benefit from better pads. What is your car se up for? Is it more AX/ Track car with some street or the reverse or only a street car? Porterfelds are a very agressive pad but squeel like a little pig. I will be using those for AX and my Pagid's for the track. If you are running tires smaller than 205s stock brakes with great pads is really all you need. Oh, and good decision on not using the T. |
