Bravo! You've just indicated that you don't know what the HeII the thread is about.

It is about a vehicle with rear bias well BELOW what it is supposed to be. So to add rear bias (or preferably fix whatever is causing the gross underbias) would put it back to NORMAL!

Nice 1+1 = 2 post of yours, but I never disputed those braking 101 items. Why you bring them up is mysterious to me.

I plan to borrow the IR temp gauge again soon and do more testing. Here are some comparisons from other vehicles:

Hey - whatdayaknow - all those rear brakes in the test are above the "sizzle temp"

The know it all flamers who can't comprehend obviously know the outcome beforehand and that all Contour brake systems are faultless and NEVER NEVER NEVER underbias the rear .... NEVER.





Yeah and you're SOOOOOOO analytical with your whole argument based on the sound some snow made when you threw it on your rotors. You're ridiculous. How did you come up with your imaginary bias proportion? How do you know it isn't 70-80-90-95%?

Stop trying to act like you're in some sort of divine connection with your braking system.

Without ACTUAL brake pressure readings on each wheel, you CANNOT make the assumptions you have made. Temps won't tell you enough due to the different sized rotors, front to rear. You need to know the pad pressure, coefficient of fricton of the front and rear pads and actual contact area.


So if you measure the temps, what kind of home-brew calculation will you use to deduce that your brake roportioning is wrong? Do you have access to the original DVP&R for the CDW-27 Brake Design?......... somehow, I think NOT!

Eh, f@#k, do what the hell you want you are a lost cause.
