Nah I'll cook the ABS system apparently

Can't remember who said it (barnz?)...but maybe I am locking the rears. I do have terry rears

I just need to avoid extremo braking...and learn to smash it progressively (if that's the right terminology?)

Maybe, depends how fast your going. 60k and a violent pedal smash it could be the fronts. 100+ I doubt will be the fronts locking straight away.

Yes that's the right terminology, it all happens very fast, grab pedal settle the car, feed it in hard early and come out of the pedal deeper into the braking zone. Every body is different but in big heavy cars I like to carry a little bit of brake to the apex and then try and start feeding in some throttle as soon as possible. I personally dont like the way they behave when coasting. I find braking hard in a straight line and turning them in as soon as the brake is released upsets them a bit. V8 supercar weight and suspension different story. Even then, craig lowndes more often than not uses this technique which skaifey calls "driving the car on the front tyre"

Well in that case the bias maybe wrong

On my silly car I have braided lines front and rubber lines rear and the rears do even less now
