Rear Brakes Seem Too Powerful
every since ive done the rear disc swap, whenever i turn moderately hard and use more than usual brake force, the inside wheel will lock and release repeatedly or just lock altogether. is this common on rear disc swaps? i would assume its due to cars from the factory with rear discs come with 2 piston front calipers and mine have a single piston.

flush your brakes out so you are getting even brakeforce distribution.
you might also want to inspect all 4 sets of pads for abnormal wear.

my 2000 has dual piston calipers.
but yea, after 2000, the 8g's all had single piston calipers, no matter if it had drum or disc brakes.
