The G-Loc guys recommended a lower mu rear pad to me since I like to trail brake quite a bit.

Switching to the XR4 should help but may not eliminate it altogether.


Also, you should try XR1/XR3. I loved the XR1s when I used to run them. Your tires should have more then enough grip to handle the XR1s.

I am happy to report the XR4's solved the problem. In hind sight it kinda makes sense. Duringr my V8R/Stoptec swap I installed sport rears. The bias shifted to the rear with the larger sport pistons. The prop valve helped me above the knee point but below it there was still to much rear bias.I must have been getting into that portion as I released the pedal. Sorry for all the drama over a simple pad problem.

In other news I move the 15mm rear sway bar to the softest setting during the lunch break. Night and day difference! I can get back to throttle sooo much sooner. Bows head in shame....Go ahead guys tell me I told you so.

When I go manual brakes I will try that combo. The pedal is pretty sensitive as it is.

I won't. I'm still on a 16mm on softest setting!!!
