That suggests there's been something wrong with the rear brakes on your previous cars.If you don't do something to sort the bias then you'll get 50/50 distribution so you should be able to lock the rears easily under heavy braking, which is quite bad from a safety perspective, especially if removing the ABS. ________________________________________ Rich |

On a phase 3 you can simulate the effects of this by unplugging the ABS. This will kill the EBD and give you 50/50 distribution.Take it out for a drive and if you can't feel the difference in brake force distribution or can't get the rears to lock then something is wrong somewhere. Obviously do this carefully though! ________________________________________ Rich |
