Rear brake disc's

[mwalley1]

Have been on track with clio & the rear disc's were cold compared to the front.

Think the calipers are seized!

How is best to free them up??

Thanks a lot Matt

normally when brakes seize they stick on and will overheat,

maybe the brake bias is too much on the front?

your rear brakes hardly do anything, especially if you have a cup. is your braking efficiency good overall? providing it is and your handbrake works as it should it sounds normal

We raced at Brands on Sunday and the rears were still rusty when we finished.

is it the same on a 182 cup as a 172 cup, by that i mean the same rear to front bias??

if its been lowered then the rear bias adjuster is being fooled into thinking you have pp; in the back and not applying enough pressure to the calipers , but as said if it feels ok go with it or you can adjust the rear bias valve. also if the calipers were seized your discs wouldnt be rusty and the brakes would feel shite & would overheat, you would hear them binding to .

The rear braking effort is just very low on them, low enough that they often fail on mot's and there is a vosa certificate for it. Nothing to worry about mate.

its not a saxo mate, they don't have a bias adjuster, its built into the ABS pump
