Subject tries to say it all. Before I get the new tires on, I wanted
to understand why everybody tells me I'm smokin' the right front tire bad under heavy braking. I corner weighted the thing with my equiv weight, and of course that's the lightest part of the car, but it shouldn't be that bad. Calipers are only a few years ago rebuilt and I don't notice any different pad wear left to right. The front shocks are original. Could they be acting different from each other? I have 21mm torsion bars so the car is stiff, I wouldn't be able to tell from bouncing the car. Thanks all, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Mark, I always locked up the right front...lightest corner by far...
That is why I moved the battery as far to the right front as possible...I havn't run it yet but it should help.. New pads, old pads, same story..my front bars are very stiff. I just think that it is due to the weight transfer.....go with monster rear springs....herb |
