As i know that your a good driver, i know that you know how not to lock up. With my Corsa i can have a little fun and lock the rear wheel up but in an emergency stop this won't happen as i know how to not make this happen. | |

quote: Lol. Maybe it's just me, but I like to be able to feel when I'm braking heavily... mine shakes when I get close to locking up :) who needs ABS? | |

try gettin it to a local garage with brake rollers you might have a front brake that is pullin on better than the other side which would make it squirm under heavy brakeing | |

boo :P I liked getting the arse out without using the hand brake... but I must admit It is pretty scary atm speeding along dual carriageways then having to brake at the last minute at a roundabout and having the car trying to wander all over the road as I brake. | |

the bias valve only needs altering on 1.4 and 1.6 corsas, and anything over 35mm - 40mm drop needs new parts making for the valve to regain it original position. 1.2 corsas have pressure dependant valves which dont need touching whatsoever. | |

Under heavy braking atm, my car squirms all over the place (wheels are not locked), but through the steering wheel you can feel it trying to wriggle all over the road... why is this? :boggle: |
