[Shotimes] RE: 1st impressions on proportioning plugs

[Ron Porter]

Front rotors are rusty??? Are the pads contacting them?? This usually
happens in the rear when the sliders freeze and the pads don't touch the
rotor.

FWIW, Paul, this was a VERY invalid test!! The mixed tires alone are bad
news, not to count the other stuff. This is not what many of us have found,
and I've had mine on the track with the plugs.

BTW, please don't cross-post to all the lists in one message, I get double
of everything!

Subject: 1st impressions on proportioning plugs


Finally got the front suspension back on the car today so I got to test my
'96 front brake upgrade and the proportioning valve plugs.

A couple of notes:

1. Front rotors are very rusty.
2. Front swaybar is disconnected
3. Rear control arms are bent (just took it apart after test drive to
replace with GP arms)
4. Front pads are Ford, rears are Performance Friction Carbon Metallic

Anyhow, front end dove hard, ABS kicked in and rear end was very squirrelly.
I attribute this to 1. front rotors rusty (no good bite), 2. SZ50's on front
and Arctic Alpin on rears, 3. Rear control arms bent so toe was hosed on
rear.

The big concern I have is that I did 2 50-0 stops and the rear rotors were
still too hot to touch 30 minutes later. Maybe when I finish cleaning off
the fronts they will start doing their share?
