[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 364588, member: 81"] Or worse case, brake bias too forward will cause excessive weight transfer to the fronts swinging the tail around under hard braking in the turns. I believe the older generation Vios has this problem. There was a recent case where the Vios braked hard around a high speed turn, the tail lifted swung around and car wrapped around a tree in Cyberjaya. Killed driver instantly. The whole episode was reviewed via recordings of the traffic camera. Nose heavy FWD, high rear clearance suspension setup, front brake bias = bad news man. Hence big safety warnings in the installation instructions and labels for the the Performance brake kit to re-code the DSC. Just doing the retrofit without the DSC recode is a safety hazard.
