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.





First, Hey, "whatdayaknow" all the cars in those tests were rwd, had completely different setups, and were being tested beyond some normal stop and go OF COURSE THEY WILL HAVE HIGHER REAR TEMPS

And the "know-it-all-flamers" aren't saying a contour could never be under-biased; only that yours doesn't have a problem based on the information you have provided.
You don't seem to understand that in some conditions the rear MUST be underbiased in order to prevent overbias in other conditions. Overbias in the rear = very bad and dangerous. Please get this through your thick skull and quit clogging up my board.

Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
