Front wheels locking up
Legend732:
Still learning these cars. Having a problem when I hit the brakes on entry or even center of turn (at times when I need to) and the front wheels are locking up. I have most of the bias on the front with a little rear. I have gone to a less aggressive pad (wildwood brakes) and still having the problem. I have been told to have limited rear brakes as the car will push. Am I hitting the brakes to hard? Is there anything I can do with the brake system to help not do this? Seems like I should be able to hit the brakes and not locked the front wheels up. Any insight would be great.

Sounds like too much front brake bias to me. Front brakes should be about 70% (more or less) of your braking.
Make sure that your calipers are square to the rotors though.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will try this next time out.

Do check those calipers and make sure they are square to the surface of the rotors. Sometimes, they require a little bit of shimming to get them into place.

Will do, thanks Steve
