[Fot] brake bias

[Jim]

 Not trying to be intentially anal.. 

If you're seeing fluctuations on a pressure gauge, then something has to be
causing the pressure differences.  On a disc brake setup, normally that'd be
the differences in rotor runout.

If the car is handling ok, then it's something to watch in the after action
videos but not lose sleep over.  If the handling under braking is funky...
time to clean things up in the rear brakes.

Never hurts to have things perfect.  But who has time/$$ to do that?


Cheers,

Jim

Sorry for the late opinion, but I could not agree more with Mike Munson. I
added brake bias guages to my cars many years ago and the only time I ever
look at them is in the pits or on the grid for a rain race. Make any
adjustment there and that's it, no time to read them at speed. ( I have used
video to record the guages during testing) After reading this thread I can't
imagine a guage "fluttering", especially if there is no loss in performance.
True a little run out will not help, but I don't believe that is the cause.
