early 944 brakes, stock MC....dosent feel right

Wally, your talking about changing to a split bore m/c from a m/c with a straight bore. This is how bias is changed

Ok, edit: m/c bore (when F = R, regardless of dia.) has no affect on bias..)

I too have a lot of faith in Shad's calculations and written word, I bet he too would approximate your new bias to be 1.1..

Is there differences in bore sizes between NA 944 and 944T/951? Can anyone confirm? I've asked before..

My idea is to integrate the rear 15/16" piston from a 16v Golf m/c into a 'newly split bored' 13/16' m/c from the 8v Golf. The larger rear piston will push the front calipers and give a front/rear bias of 1.3:1 Similar to the Kerscher m/c :agree:

Wally, my front tyres are only 95% the diameter of my rears, this will have a significant affect on my bias, bringing it close to the 1.6 of a 1980's 911. Which is a little too high for a Bug perhaps. I can't imagine anymore braking power in my Beetle. But I know there is some more there. My eyes already go

May I suggest you experiment with an adjustable proportioning valve in your rear line. I plan to.
