Can anybody recommend an upgrade for the rear brakes as I have wilwoods on the front and now find that they overpower the rears.________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |

More than likely down to a bad compensator valve rather than needing better rear brakes mate  ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

Swap to a bias valve instead of the rear compensator and drop some 1144's in the rear - they're cheap in that shape too. Or just try the 1144's first.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Thanks I was thinking about the bias valve and dialing a bit more to the rear. I will try the 1144's what brand are they? or do you have a link? I think I have heard you can put 205 front calipers on the back but what do you then do about handbrake? ________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |

Change your rear pads first  Got Tarox drilled & veined rear discs & Ferodo 3000 pads on rears & can't fault them ..... Also have all new refurbed 330s with Brembos v6 calipers & Ashs bells/rotors on front with Ferodo Ds1.11 pads ....min dust & both still look like new ..these don't overpower my rears  If everything's working 100% you won't need a bias valve unless you take your ABS off ove course |

They're cheap as chips from rally design, about 40 quid IIRC.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

With the temperatures you'll see on the rears they will perform worse than DS2500 pads would for road driving. DS3000 need to be above 250°C to outperform 2500s, and don't come into their peak performance window until 400°C ________________________________________ Rich |
