You can choose from various temp ranges, personally on a road car ones that bite from 0degrees are best, I have track ones on mine but onld start to work at 200deg, so aren't good on road use. | |

I've never adjusted mine with lowering and/or fitting bigger brakes up front. | |

the calipers were new on a month or 2 ago... and the MOT was done last month and nothing was picked up as unusual. | |

the rear drums are self tentioning, and the ABS is probably triggering cos the V6 calipers have a tendancy of locking up the disks, even a slight difference in rotation between the individual wheels will convince the ABS system into you are going into a skid and it will opperate. | |

Sticky caliper then, that's what causes turnign under braking. get it to a MOT tester to have the brakes check, they should do it for free for you, and tell you the balance of the car. | |

but as for pulling to one side, just bleed the brakes, front & rear, and topup the fluid see if that helps... | |

Hi.... I was just wondering if anyone has adjusted the brake bias valve on their corsa when fitting the bigger calipers up front? |
