BRAKES!!!!! again pleasy!
here we go again,
rite !,my brakes are all new,front calipers,goodridge hoses,new hard copper lines(complete) ,new predator pads,new black diamond combi discs,the rears have new shoes,hubs and all the springs are spankin new,new cylinders and also a new h/brake cable,and a new servo! basically new complete brakes,
the problem is, ive bled the system complete and alls well,but when doing the rears,ie,(loaded) under the cars own level weight,when i come to do a brake check(about 20mph) ,my rears are still locking up first,causing the nasty "tail-end overtakeing the front syndrome",
bearing in mind that the cars not bedded the brakes in at all,as its not roadworthy as yet,(TOO MUCH PLAYING ON BIG BIKES),could this be that the new front pads and discs are not bedded yet?, oh yes ,the abs belts are removed too.!
cheers. wot dyou think guys???

I think, personally, your car sounds like a death trap 
I expect the compensators on the rear have seized up, you don't drive it much do you?
Remove the ABS and the compensators, job done

yeah me knows ,but it was a test as the whole system is new and aint motd ,so arnt bedded, dont wana spend spondoolies on a mot,to be told ,oh your car failed as the rears lock up first!
need to re-check the lot me thinks!
it might well be the fronts arnt biteing as there not cut into (married) with the discs,an the rears have done roughly 20miles of braking(up and down the street)
before the b/new fronts were fitted.
