G27 USERS.. What u using for brake pressure ?

[LeftTurnAddict]

Hey guys.
Just wondering what brake pressure people who use a g27 with a standard spring force pedal use in set-ups ?
Cause it seems no matter where i set it between 95% - 85% i am constantly getting front or wheel rear lock-up.. Especially in the boxcar

Well, it depends on the car, brake bias, wings, which corner, a lot of things. It all goes down to setting it to the harshest/most stable brake zone on the track, and modulating the pedal during the rest of the braking zones. It takes a while, but you'll remember how much/hard to brake on each corner.

Do you have ABS on? I drove the Boxer yesterday with low ABS and unless you're turning in I can brake to 100% without locking up. Without it it was an immediate lockup, even on warm tyres and brakes.

As others have said it is car / track / setup dependent.

If possible:

• Brake in a straight line.
• Adjust the brake pressure to give lockup only at extremes.
• Adjust brake bias to combat front /rear lockup (use replay to see which wheels locked)
• Modulate brake pressure as you feel the car lockup

I prefer the rears ro lock up before the fronts so that I can at least try to turn to need to. It does lead to more weaving under brakes, especially in boxer cup. I don't use abs at all in boxer (even though it has this feature). I found better braking and control without it. This was a revere discovery during a club event.

Using the GTEYE spring, 100% BP in all cars regardless of ABS. Good luck getting anywhere near 95+% with consistency.

Same here with the MR18 and TM pedals. I used to(!) brake very clean and deep into the corner but something changed and either my fronts lock hard or (when bias is set more to rear) i spin hard.
I set the brake press at 80-85%, my brake pedal at 40% sensitivity but still i experience the nasty lock up behaviour...
