![]() ![]() But what if you have done all that and you are still not happy? Upgrading the brakes does not help lock up, although do not forget that you may be running on 10 year old tyres, but do make sure that everything is perfect to start with, and if in dount replace the flexible brake pipes because they are prone to swelling with age. Ultimately though even this may not be enough. It does work, I have tried it, but it is something that you will have to practise in order for it to become a habit, just like trail braking into a bend. ![]() ![]() press the pedal to start braking, then progressively apply more as the grip level and weight transfer increases, until the front end is burried. What you should really do is learn how to transfer weight onto the front by progressive braking, i.e. What this means to you and me is that the front A-frames are lower at the front mount and higher at the back than a standard 911, all of which reduces weight transfer under braking because it stops the front end from diving down due to tyre grip. Most folk in the game have forgotten that the 930 chassis was homologated with additional anti-dive built into the front suspension geometry. The shocks and torsion bar were the biggest part of the cost, and the whole lot came to circa £1500.Īs has been pointed out by Iguana, the brakes are wooden and with very little feeling when compared to modern brakes. I think the Geo was about £250, but I'm not sure as I had all the work done at the same time. So having spent 3k in the first 2 months I,m frightened to tell my other half I need to spend any more money or she might throw me out.Out of interest if you dont mind me asking what did the geo set up cost, And did you change the rear shockers yourself. Tim I,ve only had the car a couple of months and so far had the gearbox re-built engine out and re-tuned. Have you had your geometry checked recently? I also had new stiffer rear shocks and a 28mm torsion bar fitted which may have something to do with it. It's fine now, but was terrifying beforehand! The back was too low and the weight wasn't transferring forward under braking. Tim_930 said: Mine did exactly that until I had a full geometry check done at Parr. ![]()
