My Harrison has AP calipers all round, no balance bar required. Uses standard master cylinder and booster. Engineer commented it was one of the best stopping vehicles he'd tested.

I'm not saying that AP's are the answer just that properly sized disc/caliper combinations are necessary as a basis for safe performance.

I had a short conversation recently at LCS with a guy who wanted to adjust the brake bias on the right front only because it kept locking first. I strongly suggested that he get somebody knowledgeable to look at the suspension and corner weighting as what he was suggesting was dangerous.

My Cobra is also slightly bum heavy as the LS2 is lighter than a Ford donk.
