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,

sounds like weight transfer.
I would try new pads, they are cheap.

rotors might not be true and that would do it.

Tom T always locks, as does Chris, but not Mark...
Use the pads Mark is using, he swears by them for both street and track...cant remember the names, just email him.
