Guys, i'd like your input on this.

For some time now, the Max brakes as if there's a tad bit too much front-bias. For a short while this seemed to have fixed itself when i swapped the rear pads to match up with the fronts (now Hawk HPS all around).

However, when i changed the rotors all around, the issue came back.

I've checked and rechecked, all the calipers, rotors and pads are where and how they should be. Even did a fluid flush twice.

I'm now thinking of swapping out a pair of the pads to see if it helps. Would it make sense to go for pads with less bite up front, or in the back? If i go this route, i'll likely swap out a pair of the HPS with Hawk Ceramics.

Thanks.

 

What do you mean exactly when you say "too much front-bias"?

 

is the only thing you changed are the pads?

i don't know why this sentence sounds funny.

When weight shifting, my rears will lock up before my fronts. Is that what you mean? Check the tires too, maybe front vs rear aren't worn evenly.

Thanks for the responses, guys.

It's a little hard to explain, so bear with me here.

The car feels like the rears aren't doing as much as the front. The best way i can describe it is how braking feels when riding a bike and using just the front brakes versus just the rear brakes, or even using both simultaneously for that matter.

I haven't had the rears lock up on me, or at least none that i can feel. It works fine when i try braking using the hand brake (and in testing, can slow down the car nicely from 60 - 30).

The tires are looking good, pressure and all.

I'm thinking it's probably just the weight shift, but there's minimal nosedive so the rears should at least feel like it's doing something. This "brake bias" issue happens even in slower city traffic (in the 30-45mph range)
