I have the bias set so when I'm threshold braking -- I know I've hit that point when the rears chatter (hop) and the ass is in the air and the nose is digging a hole - that way I know to let up just a bit.... it's a "telltale".
I had the Wilwood 15/16ths as you know and could not stop very well at 40 mph. I have another manual 15/16ths, new ready to go so I'm thinking that maybe try that first then Hydratech or bite the bullet now.
