[s-cars] RE: [s-list] Nose-down brake diving

[brian bilotti]

Hap,
You're too gracious!!! My front brakes are 355's but
alas only 4 piston. I don't believe my tire wear is
due to straight line breaking but actually cornering.
Yes, cornering. My inside tire wear is so excessive
I've corded 3 brand new Hoosiers. This is a problem
that may have been exasperated by the Happersized RSB,
not enough caster, and not enough rear brake. So, I
will be working with my alignment guy to try to solve
these issue and get those rear ereds ;-) and will
report back after I've had a sufficient breakin time
after "The Transplant".

later
