I'm running E30 M3 brakes on a non-M, with the original-to-the-car 22/17mm master cylinder. As I understand, E30 M3's had 23/23mm MC's. I am running PFC 08 pads all the way around. If I am understanding MC sizing correctly, then I am running much more pressure in the rear than intended for M3 brakes, correct?
My car gets a little squirrelly in the rear end under heavy braking. The back end starts to dance around a little bit, making trail braking difficult.
Could I try staggered pad compounds, or do I need to switch to a matched MC sizes f/r? I am happy with the pedal travel and modulation as-is, but would like to balance out the braking f/r better than it is now.
PFC makes 01, 06, and 08 for the front, and 08 and 11 for the rear. I think my only option for more bite in the front or less bite in the rear would be to move to 01's in the front, as I think the 11's are more aggressive than the 08's for the rear.
