abs works ok will only benefit when wheels lock


Without trying to sound like a complete moron...
This would be the first thing I tried to make it do.
Is there no quiet, wide roads you can test it on?

Nice work with the dash mate. Swish


yeh i do need to get the wheels lock but im going to take it to work and test it on the brake rollers, i think this would be a safer bet

Location: Midlands		Take it onto a nice big empty carpark if i were you and give the pedal some beans! Brake rollers are ace to set up bias but as soon as you lock the wheels out it will either trip the rollers or throw you out... well it would on ours.

Think you should try them in anger really to get a good feel for it... would be a bit worrying if you needed to do an emergency stop on the road and something fails or doesnt be have as you expected.

yeh thanks for that mate but we can switch the rollers to manual so that i can test if each sensor is working and that it pulses the pedal when each wheel locks once i know that i can take it out and give the brakes some shoe

Any ballpark prices for just the front brakes? I know that AP ain't cheap but from looking over your journal you've already spent a lot on the car making it better than it left the factory.

The reason I'm so interested in because I'm either going to get the Reyland front brakes or get some rotor and caliper brakets frabicated for wilwood ultralite discs and 4 pot calipers.
