Brakes question
When I use the brakes the car immobilizes only the front 2 wheels and not the rear ones and as a result its difficult to control the car once it reaches high speeds.Is that normal?

RE: Brakes question
I Like mine set up so I have more rear than front, 60%/40% to 70%-30%,, this allows more steering under braking,,
If you have to much front over rear the car will stop well but just push under braking,, too much rear over front it will lockup ther rear like a 2wd stadium truck and spin out easier,, you need to find the balance that suits your driving style.

RE: Brakes question
I couldn't agree more with atomic. I tried to have the rear end lock up more and it was horrible. It would take even longer to slow down compared to having the front tightened a bit more. So I swapped it and it was more controlable as well as predictable. Just what I wanted. I always tune to my own liking as well as have it hook up to the terrain.
