am I right in assuming
with regards to my previous post about a hard brake pedal, would I therefore be right in assuming paying out £70 odd for the likes of a willwood brake
balance adjuster would be a waste of money (by the nature of the braking system ( sierra master cylinder)) it would not increase front wheel braking
it would just reduce the pressure in the rear line making it less effective

I think Tony from the times Ive been on track with my Indy in the wet,a brake balance ajuster would have been very handy,in wet conditions when been
driven hard,the rears tend to lock before the fronts,making it a little hairey to drive, ,so sometimes less is better Ive got one to fit,just not
got round to it yet.

Reducing the brake effort from the rear is safer - but you will find that the car will not stop as quickly and your stopping distances from any
speed will increase.
In an ideal world you want all four wheels to be on the verge of locking to get the shortest possible stopping distance.

sorry guys I missed the important piece what I meant was is it worth spending £70 to get the same effect from say a £20 s/h tiat brake compensator..
hope that explains it better

Not seen a tiat one b4 - is it similar to a Fiat (Fit it again Tony) one? Anything which reduces rear brake pressure will help & I believe you can
adjust the Fiat ones, unless you're thinking of racing wouldn't have said it was worth spending the extra dosh - but then I'm
tight!
