    Is it possible....

    ...to get the rear wheels of an S2 off the deck under breaking in a straight line??

    Apparently so...



    Standard brakes too! Pic was taken last weekend at the Curboough sprint circuit near Lichfield.

      Bejesus that is heavy breaking isnt it, bet the standards cannot do that for long.

          Just the once I think!

          It's only a 30sec. lap, and you only have to break three times - it's the only track I've been to where the standard S2 brakes aren't a big issue

              SHJAMOG - that reminds to upgrade the rears at the same time as the fronts - unreal and a nice pic to prove it !

                  With standards, break might be more appropriate than brake

                  Ck.
                  PS I assume you didn't try to turn a corner with the back wheels still that light...?

                      Paul, if they are in the air how will upgraded brakes work?

                      You need air brakes

                          Isn't this a sign of shot front shocks?

                              That is a logical idea leigh, soft front springs will contribute to it as well.

                                  Shocks were replaced with new (standard) items recently.
