so, i got some helpful tips and hints on the previous brake question post,
but the main question is still unanswered ....

- what exactly is the difference between the early (pre '78) 911 MC and the later model ('78 and onward) MC ???


also, anyone out there who runs mid '80s carrera brakes all around and got the brakes balanced OK? if so, what MC are you using? what else did you have to do to get it balanced?

sooo many questions ...

Other things that can upset the brake bias is the difference in front/rear spring weight
If your front is sprung harder than the rear, the fronts would lock easier/earlier

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) i actually need to go stiffer in the back, i was thinking 225 lbs instead of 180 ...

i'll give the pads in the rear some time to settle in, the rotors were used but looked brand new (no wear). the front is well used ...

we'll see how this works out on sunday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
