Hey guys,
What can i do to improve grip while braking?
My brakes either slow me down abit or lock completly, which has nearly caused me a crash twice this week.
i was thinking that maybe my wheels are too wide for the weight of the car so the wheels can slip easily. im running 195/40/16 tyres on a 1.0L corsa

It's most likely the rear locking. It could be the rear valve that is seized, or maybe the spring is under too much tension if it's been lowered. The valve adds rear bias when the rear drops after being lowered thinking it's got more weight in the boot.

If you look at your rear beam you should see it, check the spring is loose, make sure it all moves, freely.
