Corrado Rotor + Prop valve crew chime in please.
Ran an autox this weekend and kept adding more and more rear brake till eventually I maxed out the valve. Anyone else out there have a similar experience? I'm running HP+ F&R currently.

Are the people who are having a problem with the bias the ones who have 1.6 brakes with the fronts upgraded or is it the 1.8 people too? I'm wondering because i'm about to upgrade my fronts and my car came with the sport brakes. (thread with new brakes will be up soon..and you guys are going to kill me)

Are the 1.6 and 1.8 calipers the same front and rear? I'm just wondering why there would be any bias issues if you're running 1.8 caliper/rotor in the rear and the 1.8 caliper and 11" Corrado rotor in the front. I mean, you're not increasing camping force over the standard 1.8 front rotor, increasing the rotor size just makes for better heat dissipation.

There's more surface area per rotation, the stopping force is night and day. Pedal feels like a VW or BMW, where the car stop before your foot even touches the pedal.
and correct calipers are the same.

So if the pad is putting the same surface area down on the rotor face, but the rotor is larger...what's happening? I understand that there is more friction surface area (larger rotor) and that it's moved out further from the center of the hub, but I can't figure out much past that (I have a couple ideas but would like to read rather read than type).
