clarkspeed Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 This is a good thread. I've noticed camber and dive can have a substantial effect on braking g's. I don't run any more camber in the front than I need to. When I did the Skip Barber school they had some interesting comments on braking. Of course the Barber cars run on narrow BFG street tires which look (and feel sort of) like there would be very little g's available under braking. However, maximum g's in the car, 1.4, were experienced right at turn in with a slight trail brake. Hince the reason they teach trail braking while some other schools do not. Seems the tire patch is the largest under threshold braking and when you make that turn in, the tires take a bite like they've never seen before. Makes sense. I use trail braking much more now.
