If it wants to swap ends braking in a straight line, it sounds like too much rear brake. But not so much rear brake that you are locking up the rears? You say you've got Carrera calipers all around. Do you still have the rear pressure reduction valve in place? If not, the Carrera calipers have a hyd. bias that's pretty aggressive at 1.3-something (going by memory here) which is pretty aggressive, especially if you don't have a limited slip to help stabilize the car under braking..

Yes sir, I still have the standard Carrera calipers and PDV in place, nothing adjusted. For what's its worth.. I noticed the Hawk DC pads , whilst less grippy than the pagids and more mushy...tend to give me at least better control.. The pagids grip and hold on..
I like your thoughts about the stiffness.. this was my initial thought about the ass-end being too rigid and easy to rock around.. The tires have given good grip when I've dialed in the right temps/pressures...
Most everything else you've got and said, I have covered off on.. I would like to go up to 17s still I think, if nothing else to get a smaller side-wall and prevent any tire roll I might get there..
Great Feedback.. thank you!
