One of the race cars I take care of (87 Nissan turbo) has VERY similar brakes to the 318(Size and caliper arrangement.). It goes through about 5 sets of front pads to each set of rear pads. Its a 2600 lb car and even with 900 lb springs in front under hard braking you can't add much bias to the rear without locking a wheel. And yes its bad if the rear locks first.... Wheeeeee spin wheeeeee Dave __________________ Dave - PDX 1995 318ti - Active Black and Tan. 2005 330xi - Mtech 1 - 6spd - Orient Blue/Black |
