Have done the corner weights with the Club Scales& Merv"s computer program and finished up on the cross over almost 50% balance. After listening and reading I think the Commodore Calipers are simply not right for the Cobra. So it would seem that put Nissan Gtr's on the front with small mods to the mounts and different Discs may be the way to go.
Letsboogie thanks for that thread looks a pretty dramatic change ok for racing mine only a street car.

Trevor,

I have VT SS commodore calipers on the front of my Harrison and they are brilliant. No locking under very heavy breaking.

regards

Mick

Hi Mick
Long time no see sorry have'nt got my act together to organise a run up to your neck of the woods.Can't get Darth Vader and his Black Adder out, now he has a Shell on his back.
Well Iam amazed you havn't had the problems that many speak about behind closed doors !!! May be your calipers were early in production and didn't get the Colly Wobbles the later ones experience.
My set up locked the rollers front and back at the Pit testing but if I give them a quick hard jab the front l/f side grabs real bad.
Thanks for your thoughts
Trevor

Hi Trevor,
My apologies, I didn't realise that it was you! Yes long time no see. Are you guys still meeting for breakfast and a run afterwards?
I will have to come down and join in if you do.
regards

Mick
