We're doing some brake mods to a street car and questions started to arise about brake balance / bias. While it seems the optimum situation calls for a slight (5%-10%) front bias, how do we determin

On the track, I've always understood that you crank in rear brake until the rears start to lock before the fronts and then back off until they quit doing that (be careful if you've got a locker!). No

Not sure about a street car, but on a race car the seat of the pants approach usually works pretty well by gradually working the bias to the rear and sensing the response. On the other hand, if you'

Dave, Corner Station Five at Road America is an example of this. It took me awhile to figure out why some very significant cars changed ends so readily, frequently with high drama and disaster. I jus

I deliberately didn't say what car 'cause I didn't want to unfavorably bias the responses <G>. It's a 67 AH 3000 to which we've fitted a brake conversion (4-pot calipers, vented rotors) on the front

The temperature approach will also be subject to variation given the differential heating and cooling aspects of vented rotors compared to solids, as well as ducting or airstream variables, pad compo

The scientific approach requires a lot of instrumentation. You can put pressure gauges on both lines and see where the hydraulic pressure is. While that doesn't necessarily translate to braking force
