i not really stamped on the brakes on the road yet
id have thought 32% back is a bit much.you dont want to lock the back up
when i had my brake bias on my mk4 i ended up wiping out a van when the back locked up under heaving braking.after that your lucky if i used 10% rear as was always scared of locking the back up.
i set mine up dry and made a mark on the knob then set it up wet and marked it again. just go full front and take it out to a big bit of empty road and start introducing rear until you get it locking up then back off slightly.worked for me in the end
