hi people!

what is the brake ratio you use? i mean front/back

mine is set so that front brakes brake harder, and rear (drums) lower.
will i get any problem with setting it little more to back?
something like 50-50, or 60-40?
i would say that now is 75-25

leave it the way it is mate, very prone to locking the rears up under moderate to heavy braking

and what if i switch to rear discs (eventually), can i then set it more to back?
will it lock then aswell?

yes it will lock then as well, when lowering the back it fools teh car into thinking there is heavy load so it allows more braking to the rear to stop the car.

By not having the weight and the rear light it makes them very prone to locking up and locking the rear end up mid = smileys/sad.gif
