This 23/20 versus 23/19 really pisses me off with 944 N/A brakes!

with a 23/20 (actual 23.81 / 20.64) = 1.69 bias (a little too high I think)

with a 23/19 (actual 23.81 / 19.05) = 1.44 bias (as staded before and a very good bias IMO!)

Arg!

i know this is an old thread but i'm trying to work out my brakes. i have n/a 944 fitted along with m/c. i find the brakes a lill front heavy. i work out the ratio to be 1.53. now if i changed the rear calipers to a 40mm piston the ratio would be 1.25. but what is the best set up for a street driven car? would i be better off having more rear brakes and maybe a proportioning limiter?
