Brake balance
I have a problem with brakes on my Hachi.

As you know, I was made a swap from SR 5 to GT, and I change every thing including replacing rear braked from drums to discs and changing brake balancer ( part under master cilinder).

SR 5 got ventilated discs on front, same as GT so I didnt change anything but brake pads.

On rear, I bought new discs, brake pads, and rebuild calipers.

I also change brake oil and front brake rubber pipes.

Car is braking good, BUT problem is that after ride, my rear wheels are hot ( including brakes ) and my front wheels jus a little warm.

That means that rear brakes are working too much and front too little.

I know that front discs are ventilated, but brake force must be delivered proportionaly to brake force ( example 70-80 % on front and 20-30 % on rear ).

I didn't drive car on track, but I think that I might have a problem with rear brakes ( too hot ) at track or at high speed braking.

Also, I chek front calippers, they are good, and sliding just fine on carrier.

It few day I go to drift day, so I am a little bit worried for my rear brakes, I don't want to burn them.

Please help.
