OK, so I missed your point.
IMO, the balance issue is all important...for what I do. Any time one starts screwing around with brakes, unintended consenquences can pop up and, as you have said, some are a waste of time, effort, and money. Some, while not unsafe, detract from the performance of the car......the Volvo front calipers come to mind.....lotta weight, what's the return? The stock 914-914/6 brakes are decent...not great, but decent. A step up....if you think it's needed, should be done as a whole package....something it took me a while to learn. |
