#702, "one clarification"
In response to In response to 13


          

What I meant when I posted the front dives more is: The decelerating G-forces I experience are greater than my previous setup. The car dives a bit more in front, but tracks better overall(with my new rear discs). The distances are shorter and I have better control over the braking force that is applied.

I have the stock GS-T rear rotors and they do not get near as hot as the fronts. Added cooling would not help in this application. If I install a bias valve, then I may have to think about changing the rotors.

I am not an expert, all I can post on is my own experience. I have read many braking articles and they tend to compare apples to oranges when doing their tests. I wish they would have the same car and just swap one component at a time and see how that affects the stopping distance or the difficulty to modulate the brakes properly.

If you find that article, could you post it? I am always open to new ideas and approaches.

                     Does MORE stopping power = easier to lock up, Teameclipse804, Feb-12-01 10:01 AM, #11
                          More braking power means shorter stopping distance, TeamDeanoD, Feb-12-01 11:08 AM, #12
                               I read an article about how you should UPGRADE all four at one time, Teameclipse804, Feb-12-01 02:03 PM, #13
