dynacord Newbie Location: Sofia Registered: 12 Apr 2010 Posts: 22 Status: Offline	Post #1 Hi, since the rear compensator isn't working (too much rust on the rear disks), i'm thinking about removing it at all. has anyone tried this? the car is with the standard suspension (a bit lowering planned in a few weeks) PP it's a phase 1 with ABS

Rusty rear discs are a good indicator that the rear brakes aren't getting enough pressure from the braking circuit. ________________________________________ Rich
