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) |

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. rich |
