Sort of on topic question -

If my brake bias is too far forward - I was thinking of getting some rear pads that have more 'bite'.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've done this already there isn't really alot of benefit doing it while it sounds like a good idea if I'm honest as I mentioned there just really isn't that much of a difference.

I had some Hawk pads in the front of my Corolla and upgraded from TGP pads in the rear to TRD blacks and found it felt nicer under brakes. Didn't neccessarily make it stop quicker, but it felt like it settled the rear slightly.

I guess the only solutions would be to upgrade the whole rear brake package or get a bias adjuster?

Both of which scream cert....?

I mean you can try the water sprayer option but for me I believe its a stop gap and doesn't really fix the issue's mentioned.

How would the water sprayer option give me more braking in the rear?

The fronts lock up when stone cold without pushing them and the backs don't seem to be doing anything...

They won't help with regards to that option you mention at all but could help by dropping brake temps in the front this is what I'm led to believe.In saying this i have no evidence to suggest that what I mention will occur as I don't no of any Supra owner who has gone down this route.
