Cheers Jacko (didnt lose his rag too much )

Look cool Better when they're warmed up.
Problem is the fronts locking up and the rears occasionally aswell.
Not felt that before with V6's on. Is that due to them being performance on now.
Cars got ABS and the lights been on for AGES but never got round to finding out why, if its the pump or a sensor/s.
Ideas/advice anyone?

have you ever adjusted the bias valve since lowering? does your car have abs? if not the brakes are probably too overkill for the car tbh

Can the calipers be put on upside down?
I know when I put my V6's on my Nova ages ago I wasn't paying attention and put them on the wrong side - as a result the blled nipples were at the bottom rather than the top so there was a big airlock at the top, as the brakes got used more the air pockets trapped at the top got warmer - the warmer air expanded and started to force the brakes on.
So check that the bleed nipples are at the top and not the bottom.
