Thanks guys.
Guy, don't think I'm overbraked on the rear yet, otherwise the rears would be locking up first. I do have a bias valve in the rear brake circuit for tuning that out if I can ever get to that situation.
Dave, possible I suppose. We have an infrared surface temp measuring device somewhere, I'll utilise that first before I go back to solid discs. I changed to ventilated because the standard rears always overheated, resulting in brake fade, and blue discs whereas the fronts, while getting resonably hot, never did overheat. I reasoned therefore that vented rears made more sense than vented fronts.
For the rears, I think the best course of action would be to fit a bigger, four pot caliper and the softer pagids, then see if the rears will lock up, and compensate with the bias valve.
That will maximise rear braking but will do nothing for the fronts, which really are locking up when they just should not. I used to be able to brake untill they squealed a bit, and keep em squealing throughout the braking period, they were very progressive and controlable.
Mike, 2.5 degrees of camber with the Cr500's as opposed to 1.5 degrees previously with the ACB 10's.
What about shocks, would a better quality set up there improve things? Nitrons maybe?
