Mustang is nose heavy, big time. To get more front end grip, I loosen the front, stiffen the rear, and also tune the brake bias somewhat more rearward. These all help in rotating the car, but in some occasions of hard brake and turn-in, the inside rear would be locked.

These photos show the moments.

Sometimes, both front and rear inside tires would be locked simultaneously.

The front is still rotating a bit, with the rear locked firmly.


The following photo is weird. Brake light is off, but the wheel is still locked:

Finally, I manage to control the brake properly approaching a corner:

I noticed the Boss 302 was higher at the front axle... When I lowered it & had front & rear axles at the same level, I had to get a carbon fiber hood & it did a lot of difference, I want it to keep it with low mods & road race ready... And now the car looks beautiful & handles well... The wheels are the O.Z.Racing Superforgiatta... Here are before & after pics... Let me know what you think :cheers:

Nice shot. And wow! I didn't realize the newer one is so much bigger! :D

And, about the ride height, I also found some cars are inherently unlevel. The numbers in the suspension tuning are not necessarily accurate.
