Wondering If it just me or not. Anyway, Lets say have to stop really quick and turn at the same time. I think my back jumps up in the air then falls back down, at least it feels like it? I got my spare back there so...

You've completely torn apart your own 'arguement' there. How may rear engine cars have bigger brakes at the rear than the front? Quite a few which backs up what I said. Unless, of course, the car manufacturers which spend millions on research are wrong and you're right......

Torn apart my own argument? Huh... Are you dyslexic or something? Cause you seems to be reading what I write and then think it all backwards. I said the same basic thing... twice. rolleyes.gif

As for the MR/RR brake deal... it seems the world tends to agree with me... and the millions spent in your fantasy world can't even buy you common sense.

Notice the NSX with the FRONT big brake kit. Now... also NOTE... later model of the MR2 trubo came with twin piston FRONT calipers.

The world must have gone crazy huh? Now if it was as you say... this would cause a catastrophic break down on the car's physics... Also note... I drive an MR2... the brakes are the same size front and rear, and as I mentioned in my previous post... MR/RR cars do brake stronger in the rear than FF/FR cars (better weight control = better traction), BUT... they are still front biased for stability purposes. Why? Oh why? Why is the world agreeing with me? Have you ever raced a car before? FYI... I am a liscened Club race driver... and have been autoX racing for the better part of 7 years. In racing... there's something called brake bias tuning. It's tuned to the driver... and the basic tuning principle is this: If the car doesn't turn well under braking... reduce front bias. If the car wants to spin... reduce rear bias. If that basic brake tuning law was true... your entire idea of MR/RR cars having stronger rear brakes than the fronts would mean those cars are simply spin beasts... since it's already well known that rear and mid engine cars are snap oversteer beasts.

To close... learn a thing or two before you jump to conclusions. rolleyes.gif
