Like I said - Re-read the posts.

From me:
"I think I have a major brake bias problem on my 99 SVT. After a hard stop, I can touch the REAR rotors and they feel maybe like 110 deg F. The FRONTS are nearly smoking hot (pretty technical eh?) and sizzle when snow is tossed on them. I wouldn't dare touch them."

Exactly my point - the REARS are about 110F and the FRONTS sizzle, which you say (and I don't disagree) is above 212F.

Ah - so now you aren't dissing the sizzle test so much after all with that major temp difference, huh?

"Hissy fit" if the shoe fits, but frankly I'm not waiting for a certain answer - just the one that effectively solves the problem.

Jeez - you are one confrontational guy, at least tonight.

Hope we can patch things up because before you didn't seem so bent on flaming people who were honestly just looking for solid info to resolve a problem.

I dare not say spew any more data or vehicle types until I gather some reliable data - I might get flamed. But I maintain I still have the problem below 0.3g, so don't continue on your weight transfer rant.

The car stops very crappy - very slightly pulling to the right.

But good suggestion to compare to another Contour. I know another car (3.0 like mine, not that it matters) to try it on.
