How many people are running rear skinnies and rear calipers. i was told to remove them because the car will either lock up or go sideways thanks in advance for your help

 

a lot of people are running the oem brake setup with skinnies on the back with no issues at all

we have always installed a Wilwood proportioning valve into the system so that we can bias the brakes to the front of the car to avoid any issues that could occur

 

ive always just left the drum brakes on the rear. they are shitty enough to just help me slow down lol.

 

I stop my car from 138-140 with skinnies and rear disk brakes no problem. Given my car weighs like 2180-2190 with me in it. You need to realize to if ur car is heavier its gonna take more to slow her down. Also i have manual brakes.

 

I just picked up a Wilwood proportion valve never used one how easy does that adjust I see just right and left I also have stock rear brakes

 

only time i ever locked up the rears on my car was stupid on my part. the first time my car trapped over 145 i got scared and layed on the brakes hard, the front dove a little more than normal, and hazed the front slicks. next pass, did the same thing, but i pulled the e brake a little too hard. it locked up the right rear. didnt come around on me, stayed straight and true. but hitting the brake pedal, even with ITR rears, i never locked up a rear.

now i just throw out the chute hahaa.

 

I plan to run bogart flystars with stock studs and drums.... praying they will pass me at tech

 

My first time on skinnies I hit the brakes really hard just to see what it would do... I didn't have a problem

 

You know, i heard that some people even put skinnies on the front of their cars!

 

i run mine on stock rear drums never had an issue at all my brakes are totally stock

 

I'v had them locked up on me an went for a ride (it was my falt. got on the brakes to quick to hard) i dont run rear brakes anymore. i capped the caliper so I just have the e-brake. and another thing by doing this is you can adjust the drag on the rear wheels. My rear wheels will free spin for days

 

I currently have NSX fronts and RSX rears , just picked up some skinnies hoping I wont have any issues. this will be my first time riding skinnies.

 

i dont think they will, as the hub on the fly stars, is a little thick. depending on the tech guy. that would be a tough call.

 

yeah, it is pretty basic stuff, you have adjust clockwise or counter clockwise and just trial and error to see how you want it setup

in drag trim we just crank that thing to give most braking to the front - never ran the car on the street at all so haven't really played around with biasing it for a street use deal

 

How many of the fast guys out there don't have any rear brakes hooked up? I was told the drag from the rear brakes might be worth 1-2mph...?

 

I dont run rear brakes anymore. I had some issues flat spotting the rears at our local track and other tracks with short/bumpy shut downs. Plus I like doing nose manuals in my drag cars. lol

 

Hell yes you went for a ride. LOL! sorry, bad night.

 

good race by the way ^^^^^^ in fontana to bad i had so many issue nice new time ^^^


no issues with disc brakes
i got 24inch skinnys

 

So clockwise for the front to grab more? car is only on the track now so really not concerned with the street

 

i run a my skinnies with no problem, pb time 10.1 this year and still with napa pads brembro sloted rotors. oem breaks.

 

My rears are only connected to a staging brake..

 

Rear disk brakes on my Ek with skinnies and no issues. But I don't dynamite the brakes either (all motor car).

I havent had a problem with ethier car (drum and disk car) with the skinnies. all stock power brakes

 

I've thought about taking out the rear brakes in my car, and just leaving the E-Brake "in case"

I flat spotted a skinny last year, but honestly didnt know it until later on the lift someone pointed it out, so I dont remember it even happening.
