Interesting stuff.

What did these figures actually tell
you about your i30's brakes?

Hi Hemmi,

This at least confirms the accepted practice that, in FWDs', most of the actual braking is performed by the front; in this example 74%. Haven't learnt how to decipher, let alone interpret some of the other details as yet, at this stage I'm just gathering & publishing base data  :P starting with the areas I consider weaknesses in the i30; handling and braking.

I've yet to factor in EBD and my i30's weight distribution (just posted that as another Technical topic). Tyre grip with the standard Kumho Solus 195/65/R15 with a UTQG 340 AA A is another thought. I'm hoping to upgrade the wheels soon with alloys and tyres, so I'll re-run this test after the change.

Cheers

 Hi Hemmi, you don't think handling & braking are weaknesses? or....? :idea:?

I was laughing because you said "Hi Hemmi" instead of "Hi Seoul-mate"
