Title: Mkv gti brake bias
Post by: Rasco on August 22, 2015, 10:47:07 am

Quick one, what is the standard bias between the front and rears on our cars? Obvs it is much more bias to the front but to what extent?

In terms of actual fluid pressure or braking force due to the disc size?

Either way I have no idea.  :signLOL:

my mech said 80% front 20% back. that was when I thought my discs needed changing at the back because of big lip.

Can I add to the question, can they be dialled up or down to increase or decrease the bias?
