S16 Brakes (266mm) Worth The Upgrade?

Locking up the rear wheels is a sure sign to me that the front brakes weren't working properly if everything was fine using standard 1.9 stuff.

tbh it still locks very occasionally only one (l/h) wheel when on track but nowhere near as much as it used to with the 266mm brakes, especially into the Hairpin after Hall Bends at Cadwell so not in a straight line.

 

I'm still running the 1.6 compensator & it was fine when I had a passenger in but very annoying without.

 

Graham.

See now i'm not sure what route to go down...... do people really find that the 266's are no better?
