[Shotimes] Re: Brake bias plugs

[Donald Mallinson]

I have had occasional and continuing rear lock-up problems with my '89.  
Had a couple spins, and so has Ken when driving it.  I asked Josh and 
Doug about using the plugs and they recommended against it.  When doug 
put in his adjustable rear arms just recently, he rigged up the valve to 
work.

I late brake and sometimes trail brake into a corner, and the rears even 
with the valve can lock up.  That is just going to be the way it is with 
a front heavy FWD car in extreme braking.  I also am looking at NOT 
improving the rear brakes, and even maybe going with pads that are less 
aggressive. 

I will have to work to set the car up again now with new suspension bits 
and other changes, actually looking forward to it.
