Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Brakes Rear disc conversion ?

Physics is physics. Body lean/roll/squat/dive is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that when you hit the brakes the front tires get loaded a lot more and the back tires get unloaded a corresponding amount. Wouldn't matter if the suspension was locked in place, the effect is still there. And my main point was this notion that they're "taking alot of the braking stress off the front brakes. cuz they are clamping down more.". The fact that they're "clamping down more" doesn't change the fact that the forward weight shift is what it is and the rear brakes don't change that. They might be taking braking effort off the front under partial braking but if they are, you're going to be in a world of hurt when you really need them in a panic.
