    Brake master cylinder question

    Car in question is Alfa 156 mid-engined RWD 3.0V6 using brake servo and MC from Alfa 166(2001year) - 25mm piston size. AFAIK our ABS use one pipe for FR and RL wheels while other is for RR and FL - but not 100% sure. And that's my concern - if ABS distributes pressure to FR-RL(main pipe) and...

    Weight transfer during hard braking?

    So, the sum of all weight supported by all 4 wheels in hard braking will always be same?

    Weight transfer during hard braking?

    Ok, have some confusing question about weight transfer while braking. Let's say we have a car that weights 1000kg - front axle is 500, rear - 500. If brakes and slicks are capable to produce great braking force, let's say 2G, will the TOTAL overall weight of the car during hard braking will...

    Advice noted. BTW i have sliding pads that i use for tracking front toe......side movement on the rear axle is negligible......

    Well, i guess if i start with new coil-over springs, have no choice but to deal with all 4 springs.

    Cross weight balance of a car

    Have a kind of unusual question about cross weight balance of a car. Have access to a car weight scales, and read a lot about how to properly make it right. But it will be a LOT easy for me if i remove all 4 tyres, and place the car on jack stands, which supports wheel hubs. All jack stands will...
