Fad, Matty G, Rob B and anyone else for that matter who suffers from going sideways when braking...

Can i just disconnect this all together? or leave it really loose... i'd rather the front's lock up than the backs... It seems to step out a large amount sometimes which really doesn't help when i'm in traffic

i think you can but not entirely sure, i just dont brake when im turning now, if i brake in a straight line its perfect stops really well, brake when turning and the back end steps out... quite scary the first time it happened.

how do you go about adjusting this cos i'm gonna be lowering 60mm in a few weeks. Can it be adjusted, or is it a case of getting used to braking sideways ??

If you were to remove the spring from the assembly then the rears would only be biased on the smallest amount.

Does this have any effect on the handbrake?
