    Thanks for the update Josh. This is great news. Had no idea you were producing these in the states. You’ll be the only vendor that does. Thanks for making quality parts.

    What is the brake bias on the ones you manufacture Josh?

    We had a great meeting these days in Austria with >30 Deloreans, some even took part at a safty
    driving class.

    I filmed many and saw big differences in braking and handling.

    Best car was one of Wolfgangs World Tour Deloreans. (front and rear same tire size, extra fuel weight
    in the front...) Incredible stable handling !!! Not comparable at all to a stock Delorean !


    All other cars - all of them in very good maintained condition - handled differently.

    front brakes locking first,
    rear ones locking first
    all 4 locking together...

    I am very curious what the best setup is for a (almost) stock car.

    Does 32/68 ratio mean the rear brakes get more braking force ? or the front ones ?
    Has anybody details about this including disc size, brake pads, tire size...?
    Any car engineer here ? What do the theories say ?
    Any tests done ? Videos ? Simulations ?

    Thanks a lot,
    Elvs & 6548

    32 front 68 rear

    I too am looking at the optimal mc for a stock brake set up?

    Our cast units are stock bias and billet units are 50/50 for our brake system upgrade.

    Do you consider a 50/50 bias to be an improvement on the 32/68?

    Not with a factory brake configuration. You should maintain the proper bias for how the system is designed. We change the bias along with other components for our specific requirements.

    from your experience, what is best with stock calipers and vented rotors?

    Thank you Josh. Your info is much appreciated.
    Based on your advice, I'll get a stock biased MC rated at 32/68 to replace the incorrect MC fitted.
