| Ive notice in my situation in my FD the faster i go and get use to my pace of running a specific time, i always have to lower my break pressure to run faster or the same when i start feeling that my braking is slowing me down more that i first started. I started of at 67% when i first started the touge, then dropped to 65%. I learned how to do light breaking then dropped to 63% got used to that then changed to 61% now i dropped to 57% and i can run the same or just as fast (still light breaking). what i want to know, is this normal? Is that really low for a car to have that much pressure? Weird thing is its comfortable for me and have no problem with getting around the corners im just worried im going to keep going lower as time goes on just to go faster or keep running consistant with my times | |

| I run 200% on my cars, just depends on your driving style. | |

| Its part style sure but that seems pretty low. If you can get your brakes working better, then you can brake later and drop some time. Try using the bench mark 60-0 times to see just how capable the car is at breaking with your current settings. Then crank it to like 120 and see if there is a good difference in feet. | |

I don't know, i've found the benchmark to be inaccurate for some reason. I would always set up my gears so that I got maximum 0-60 and 0-100 acceleration in the benchmark, but after actually testing 0-60 and 0-100 times and comparing them to the benchmark I found that they're only an estimate. Sometimes i'd accelerate my gears and the benchmark would read that my car should be slower, but it was faster instead. Honestly brakes are the weirdest thing about tuning in this game. You can use 200% on nearly every car and it'll feel fine. I think I use something like 160%. | |

| Yeah I agree the 0-60 times are VERY odd calculations. It'll tell me a car is 1 or 2 tenths faster then a car I know very well will out accelerate it. The breaking numbers have been pretty helpful for me though.
Ethier way, breaking pressure in the 50% range seems VERY low. | |

| I figured it was low but i can run it just fine and my braking line is the same idk maybe my tunes are just weird. I remember sending bukkaz the tune to my fd so he can drive it amd he couldnt finish the run because he kept crashing from what he told me but i can drive it fine and pull off a 4:31.000 no problem | |

| You drive with two feet? The only time i know guys drive with their brakes that low is when they trail brake every corner. | |

Do you use the e-brake in your EG also? | |

i drive with three fingers (gas, clutch, brakes) lol and i dont trail brake, i lift off the brake before entering the corner and just coast around the corner till i reach the apex then start working that throttle then hammer down exiting the corner. But it does resemble that technique in the matter of weight transfer and entering at high speeds while keeping traction. Just not the braking points in that technique i dont do | |
