My calculations show that my 323ti has a stock bias setup by 72.6% (static). By going for the AP's with stock rear the bias goes up to 77%, which I think is too much. With AP up front and the proposed vented disks rear, my calculations reads 72.3% (very close to stock bias).

I believe its integrated into the ABS pump housing. But I work on enough different marques that I could have it crossed up.... Still like to hear how your works, its good to get real data from trying things whether they work or not... And if it didn't work its cool to figure out what happened
