I think you need to take your own advice on the matter.

Tbh mate 60/40 is only true for a standard car. Once you start takeing weight out of the back of it they lock up easyer so they need a smaller percentage (sp). However also with having weight out of the front and from what i can gather you wanting to remove the abs system if you throw more than the 60% into a standard brake set up the will lock, infact most brakes will lock with over 60%. Hence why they come standard at 60% a nice hard brakeing force without them locking up... In otherwords leave your brakeing system alone. Or go and pay alot of money to someone who knows what there doing instead of using trial and error on something as crutial as brakes. Thats one area on my car, road or track, that i wouldnt want to skimp out on when it comes to money or time off the road

Stop spending money on pointless things like pedal box & book a trackday instead

Ive done Lydden Hill, Nurburgring twice & 3 times after next weekend, Castle Combe, Silverstone is next Tuesday, Brands Hatch & Oulton Park, use the car for the purpose you designed it for!

it will be

plus its harder for me to get to most of these tracks as they are miles away, closest to me is silverstone, im happy fitting in trackdays as and when for the moment

iv spent a lot of money on the car this year so dont have a great deal to do hundreds of track days straight away but they will happen when its finished

I've quite enjoyed doing trackdays after doing a few mods cause I can notice what difference they've done, then do more mods & another trackday etc. You are going to have to learn to drive again with everything you've done

Oulton Park is 200 miles from me, just have to travel if I want too do different tracks andit was well worth the drive

Can you not just re-pipe the brake lines under the bonnet to a standard master cyl with a little restrictor for the rears for now?

Or just put the restrictor on the rears and leave abs gear in there not plugged in.

Still think pedal box tho, then you can make videos of your self heel/toing
