max brake disc thickness ae86 caliper+heel and toe question

Jan Pedersen Wrote:I think heel and toe is very much needed to have full stability while braking up to a corner. Depending on your brake setup it might be ok to release the clutch gently when going down through the gears but only if the rear brakes aren’t breaking enough. If brake balance is optimal the rear will be very close to looking up and if you release the clutch at this point you might just as well pull the handbrake.

Thats what I thought as well. But tell that to this guy:

I know that its hard to tell, but running a 1m50 in traffic is fast. The fastest AE86 I've seen around here runs a clean 2:08 qualifying lap as a reference. This is one of the frontrunners in the dutch supercar challenge (GT4) and formula ford

No heel and toe
No rowing through gears
Not a second lost anywhere

It can be done.
I know that this particular guy does start heal-toe-ing when it rains, though no rowing through gears. Just focus on the things that matter... heal/toe should be WAY down on the list.
