dont know what forum to put this in but i have a Eg with a 4lug (4x114.3) conversion with 98 itr calipers on it. I also have 98 JDM master cylinder with booster and rear disc. proportional valve. My brakes lock wihen i slam on the brakes...i have no abs...what should i do to lower the pressure of the brakes...i dont want to take the conversion off...i spent too much money and time but having the brakes lock at high speeds is scary...any help...?

 

either get ABS, or learn how to threshold brake.

 

if you want a less sensitive mushy feel just put like a 13/16th's master cylinder

that way your brakes wont lock as fast.


The only reason why the lock so fast is because they are so responsive.

In my opinion a good thing...

Dont slam on the brakes. Seriously, its that simple. They're not an on/off switch.

 

Learn how to drive. I think someone already talked about threashold braking. You should try it

 

thx for the excellent advice...do you offer lessons? I didnt mean extreme pressure when i wrote 'slam' in the message. during fog weather i slip across the intersection, and i would not slam on my brakes during wet weather. it just locked...11" rotor with bigger caliper, im just not used to it yet.
Well someone helped me out with some REAL advice about a aftermarket prop. valve...it helps distribute more pressure to the rear and not the front...but thx for the helpful tips anyways

 

.RJ's advice is spot on.

also. you may need new/better tires or less aggressive pads for daily driving.

 

i bet you it's your tires.

what are you using? what size?

 

What BPR said.
Get better tires if it locks up too easily.

 

you know what, its prob. is my f*ckin tires. I have some gerneric summitumo tires....(DORAL brand) but it is 280 AA. They are 196/50/15. But they dont hang at all. A lot of noise...thx everyone
