[DeTomaso] rear brake options

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

If your brakes can't lock up on dry pavement it's safe to say that
something's seriously wrong.

I'm running 285/40-17 rear and 215/45-17 front, Goodyear F1's

I think it's safe to conclude that if a prop valve was a waste of time and
money on your car it would be on mine also.

Thanks for the info.

Jim

Brake calipers are stock.  Proportioning valve replaced by a manual valve on
fronts, but fronts are turned wide open.  The car stops fairly well and I
can't lock up the brakes even if I tried to on dry pavement.  My 350Z with
the Brembo brake kit (and antilock) stop far superior but I don't think that
is a fair comparison



Rims are Formula Pantera 17"  rims from PI Motorsports
Tires are Kumho Escta XS 335 35 17 rear and 225 45 17 in the front
Stock Spring spacers still in.

Rob,


Do you have stock front and rear calipers?
What size front and rear wheels and tires do you have?

Jim
