Actually, he wasn't indicating anything of the sort.. He was stating that, according to the current data at hand, nothing seems unbiased, and if you DO increase rear bias then it would not be "back to normal" it would, indeed, be higher... so you'd be a spinner.

You are correct, if it WERE lower and you raised it, it would fix the problem, but to raise the rear bias when you haven't got CONCRETE proof that its off, is simply crazy. Just because those temps are lower doesn't mean anything. As stated, larger front rotors, and more contact area in the front make anything but an ACTUAL pressure reading simply a "Guess", at best (even IR temps, as we both performed..)
This is just their (much more aggresive) way of telling you that increasing the rear bias when going on nothing more than a hunch and IR temps is not a good thing to do...

It is much simpler, and more cost effective (not to mention safer) to diagnose the fronts, replace anything you may have missed (even though you just worked the fronts over) and then move to the rear, looking more in depth for sticking parts, etc, etc.

The fact that you just replaced all the braking components recently and then you have a problem show up seems to point to the fact that something may be wrong (air let in the system, etc, etc..) but it could be absolutely ANYTHING...

If your car pulls to any side while braking it is the fronts you need to worry about. (with the obvious exceptions of bushings, and LCA's being worn, etc.)

This thread has gone on MUCH too long.. How about you start looking in to the fronts a little more, and then move to the rears, and let us know what parts are worn (or broken), if any. Don't assume since they are recently checked that all is well...
