    LOL... as an ABS engineer, not just a Porsche driver, I'd love to hear your reasoning behind this...

    No engineering degree here - just real world experience. It took years to make my E-36 brake well. dozens of flatspotted tires and lots of frustration is my only reasoning. In the end it was good but it took a lot of work and a lot of effort.

    No engineering degree here either. It took me 1 test day and 30 seconds to figure how to make my E36 brake well.

    Maybe I should hire a professional driver.

    I should have given more background - the car was fine on smooth tracks but the bumpy tracks were the challenge - i.e. Lime Rock

    Rob,

    This doesn't sound like a brake problem as much as it may be a suspension problem.

    Shocks are a big deal at Lime Rock esp under trail braking into Big bend...where trail braking was invented. It's the trail braking poster child corner!


    It's not.
    Damit, there I go feeding the troll.

    The real PITA, IMO, of the rear suspension is the difficulty in setting camber and toe properly. NOT easy.

    Bingo...my 911 (very similar to the 944 in concept) is at the limits of the eccentrics, with new trailing arms, new Wevo SPS spring plates and new monoballs, and the thing still has toe out and too little camber! Grrrr...............
