Hi all,
After submitting my contingencies for a new set of Hawk HP+ brake pads I have been doing a lot of thinking about the effects of a more aggressive compound on my focus ST which has a brake actuated LSD (open diff that brakes the spinning wheel). Are there any proven problems or even benefits from going to a more aggressive pad compound when it comes to the cars electronic processing and how the brake actuated lsd works.
i.e.
-The brakes clamp faster and easier so the LSD works faster
-The brakes clamp faster and lock quicker causing chaos with the LSD
Can the brake actuated LSD system learn and adjust to different compounds or Big brake kits?
Could more aggressive brakes actually make the Brake actuated LSD quicker, in theory improving off corner acceleration with more aggressive brakes?
Just some thoughts that have been bouncing around in my head, and I have not really seen any testing on the subject.
