Brake Bias Spring Upgrade?

[CAJUN C4]

What's the Scoop on Changing the Brake Bias Spring ? I Believe Ecklers or someone sells them? Supposedly helps it Stop Quicker? Anyone using one?

It is true that a brake bias spring can change braking performance under certain circumstances but, whether it works for you depends greatly on how you drive the car.

Are you doing a lot of road racing or autocrossing?

On a street driven car, there will be little or no advantage to installing an aftermarket bias spring in your master cylinder.

Where a bias spring can make a difference is under very aggressive driving situations, where you are doing heavy breaking from high speed, it dials in more rear brake.

While this may decrease stopping distance it also makes the car a little more "sensitive" at the limit in a turn and under max braking.
