Brake Question...

[EclipseGST-95]

Is there any way that you can adjust how much the rear brakes work so that all 4 brakes deliver equal power to stop the car? Just curious since i probably replace the rears once every 2 or more times i replace the fronts...

Brake wear is not the most important thing......it's braking balance wich priority is king. You would not want to adjust your rear brakes in a maqnner that caused unequal braking distribution, if you were to have too much brakes in the back you would run a very serious risk of spin out in a high speed lock up situation.


If you are coming to a stop and all four tires feel like they are locking up at an equal rate I would highly recomend NOT tampering with brake line pressure.


If your rears were guilty of prematurely locking up you might look into a brake proportioning valve.
