    The front rotors on most systems are larger then the rear rotors, mainly because the front does a larger percentage of the stopping..... If the rear rotors are the same size or larger that would account for your problem... Might want to try a proportioning valve in the rear and see if that helps..... You probably wil need to go to the larger front rotors, but ECI should certainly have known this if they're in the business of selling brake systems...

    Thanks Dave, this makes sense now. My front rotors are 11" and my rears are 11.8". You're correct the fronts should be larger than the rear. I don't know why I didn't pay attention to this befor.
    Thanks
