[QUOTE="ShelbyGT5HUN, post: 15325107, member: 161356"] On a previous track car I owned, I ran into a slightly similar problem. I changed a few things in brake department, and was getting rear wheel lock up (non abs car here), under extreme braking. Trail braking with this lockup would cause a spin. I could have added a proportioning valve, but found replacing the rear pads with stock ones, and the leaving the high friction ones up front, worked well and was a cheap and easy fix. You really don't want a ton of braking in the rear. Forward weight transfer, under braking, being the main reason. Barspen, Did you notice any improvement in the ability of the traction control system to reign in the wheel spin with the larger rotors? Anything more than half throttle, and this motor has the power to blow through the traction control system. I wish this car had a more advanced/useful trac system. [/QUOTE]
