Hey Al,

Yep..I agree with you about the front doing all the work ... but

And here comes the debate

Let me first say that I'm by no means an expert and I guess this subject has a lot to do with driving styles.

But I rather like a little back brake before the front come on. Just a little mind you and certainly nowhere near causing a rear lockup before the front. Just a little so if you tap the brakes the rear will come on a nanosecond before the front brakes and hopefully help pull the car into line before the fronts come on strong.

A little like towing a van/ or a big rig ..if things get loose and messy get the trailer brakes on first and hopefully pull the rig into balance.

Mind you..and I did admit that I am no expert, but I have spent more than my fair share of time in the weeds so this principle may be totally wrong.

Now...about that itchy head.... Just drop into a chemist, they've got all the stuff to fix the little beasts.

Cheers
