I have a dilema, I'm a member of VVOC and put a thread on there, regarding fitting suspension a week on sunday.

One of the Guys mentioned something about the Brake Bias being off when the rear is lowered... is this true and is it easy to resolve, has anyone come across this issue?

Any info would be gratefull.

Thanks in advance.

Chris.

Yes, back brakes lock up when you hit the brakes, makes your car go sideways.

Its just a spring on the rear beam, loosen the bolt so theres no pull on it.

This is going to sound a stupid question, but where abouts is it?

Thanks for the info though.

Cool... Thanks for the info.

While this topic is ongoing what do people think about FK's, it's Coilovers at the front and fixed 40mm at the rear.

I want to keep some of the Drivability and handling... I'm looking at changing the alloys next, from the sports.

I've also got TSW RIBS, but I think the ET is off and will rub, won't know untill I've done the suspension though.
