I can see why this site has so little actual knowledge on it. It seems to be a fanboy ricer site.

i gotta give it up for hustler. just when i thought u couldn't top the previous post u is even funnier. :kowtow: x 10000 in your general direction sir.
sjmarcy, ok i'll bite. i have stock 1.8 brake hardware and in autox i lock up rf. i was thinking of cross drilling my front rotors to save weight, and i figured i would go ahead and add a 10% left bias. since area varies with square of diameter, i was figuring just a tiny bit bigger holes on the right rotor than the left. i was also thinking of using a masonry bit which i sharpen to a razor edge with a diamond wheel so it goes through the mild steel like butta.
interested in your analysis

to OP. sticky piston? i'm sure other folks here have better diag than this, but the first thing that i thought of was to substitute piece of wood for your pads on both sides. step on pedal real hard, and then inspect. if sticky piston on driver side, then it should show up in the piston imprint on the wood.
if this is dumb then please ignore

It's all about the brake balance - and nothing more

JasonB - that's the first simple thing that should be checked...but we all now know you have to put in prop valve to fix a sticky slider.

Sjmarcy and Datalogs: A Retrospective... 
Following the principles I've explained here and elsewhere leads to better braking. I showed a now well-biased Miata braking system which can trail brake like crazy, unlike most Miatas. The car has been transformed, inexpensively. You can't fool the datalogger along with some basic tests.

^^^ actually, thats not true. the real sjmarcy is a tray drifter in the TD1 series, where the real ricers hang out
EDIT: my 100th post is a tray drifting video. god i need to step away from the keyboard before i hurt myself
