[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 364601, member: 81"] Well some fellas in E90 post do DIY's of their install. Didn't recode the DSC after. Also some folks who just fit front Brembos typically don't re-validate the brake bias changes on the car. If its a full kit from Brembo, Alcon, AP, Stoptech etc, the designers do take in consideration brake bias during the design of the front + rear brake combo. I guess its more detrimental for cars prone to excessive weight transfer to the fronts, high ground clearance, softer suspension setup, rear lifted suspension setup, nose heavy weight distribution etc (our BMWs esp M sport package and M cars have less clearance on the rear). Here is the story of the case with the vios. The writer points it to "sensitive" brakes, but I believe its a brake bias, weight transfer issue which the older gen Vios is prone with.
