3. Will generally not work in a straight line
4. ABS may be an issue
5. You really don't need to change your Brembo calipers
6. Maybe you're over-thinking it
7. He is happy to talk to you about it 9458 1444...give him a call

Thanks Steve.
1. Tell me about it haha.
2. & 3. Yeah. I figured as much. But what makes me think its not 100% right, is the fact the cable/drum setup works so much better. It will lock up in a straight line with ease. Where as the hydro wont. I would expect a hydro to work better than a cable. Else its alot of work for no real benifet.
4. It may. I would prefer to retain it if possible just for ease of not removing it. But if i cant get it to a point im happy with by other means, then it is something i will do.
5. Thats good. Dont want to fork out for bigger rear brakes if i can get it working in other ways.
6. I always over think stuff.
7. Thanks for that. Will call in my lunch brake and have a chat.
