Citroen Saxo 1.4 VTS with 206 GTi Brakes

[thelastone]

Hey

A few days ago I have upgraded my brakes from standard 247mm to the 206 GTi Brakes (266mm)...
Brakes at front are working pretty damn good, but at the rear its a bit different.
With the standard brakes at front i was able to brake in to a corner while the rear was sort of sliding in.
Now with the bigger brakes at the front I have much less braking power at the rear so the car dont really wants to turn on the brakes...

So do you have any idea how to get more brake power at the rear?

Some people told me that i have to adjust the "weight-dependent brake regulator", I dont know the exact expression cause my native language is german ;)
Sorry
But i couldn't find this part, maybe I have to open the brake drums to adjust it?

The Car is a Saxo 1.4 VTS or as you call it WestCoast or Furio?
It's a 2000er without ABS?

will need to fit a disk drum, the compensator is what you are talking about. little bit that sits just on top of the beam on the left hand side. dont think drums have it

Ok so there's no way to adjust the rear brakes?

Is it possible to put some bigger brake callipers in there, i think mine hast 19mm at the rear, but there are some other callipers which are normally in something like a Peugeot 306 or 206 or so, those have around 20. something and up to 25mm would that make a difference?

The whole range use the same rears only a very few gti6 had a slightly bigger rear piston

I'm talking about the drum brake callipers, there are some different ones on the market...

you'd have to trial and error on that. nothing that has likely ever been done else where, as if you have a drum beam, the common route for more rear braking is to fit a disk beam.

it may be possible, but if all you are after is abit more oversteer, then it is easier to fit stronger rear torsion bars and anti roll bars.
the 106 gti has the thickest standard anti roll bar at 24mm, and thickest standard torsion bars are 19mm, found on anything with discs at the back. i have gti anti roll bar and aftermarket 21mm torsion bars and the oversteer is just too much fun, i've managed to recover from more angle than i ever managed to control in my volvo 340. lol

you'll need to adjust the bias valve on the beam.

fitting bigger rear calipers is completly pointless.

Ok, so getting a complete rear axle is a bit expensive for a student like me cause a good one will set mit back around 500-600€...

@Prickle are you talking about that small thing sitting on the rear axle or something in the drum brakes it self?
