Clyde,
Thanks for your reply. By brake bias being off, you mean that the rears are doing more work than they should. This is not the case. I have run a number of Solo2s where brake bias is very apearant. If you stab the brakes hard going into a tight turn, too much rear brake bias would cause the rear to slide out like when you do a handbrake turn. This is not a problem on my car and in fact it stops very well with new pads. I really surprised my navigator (Ron) on the last rally. He knew that I had been working on the brakes and asked if they were OK, before the rally. I assured him that with the new pads, they were fine for another year or so. Later, we were looking for a checkpoint with only a minute left and were behind a slower car (Suburu WRX). Ron was worried that we were going to be late to the checkpoint and indicated that I should pass the Suburu. She was doing about 60 and approaching a curve. I dropped back a little then started accelerating moderately, setting up the pass for the exit of the curve. As the following straight came into view, there was the checkpoint, 40 feet away. The Suburu driver locked 'em up and smoked the tires trying to get the speed down before hitting the checkpoint hose early. We were doing maybe 10 mph faster than the Suburu and we stopped much faster with no squeeling tires, no smoke and had time to kill before hitting the hose. I turned to Ron and asked him if the brakes were good enough for him. He was impressed.
