Wheel alignment - Toe adjustment not enough

Front brakes should always lock first. IVA fail if rears lock first.

Should I be expecting the rears to lock at all?  In the mx5 I could tip it into a corner under heavy braking and it needed only the slightest help from the handbrake to bring the rear around.  If I try and do the same here the fronts will lock (one before the other) and the back maintains traction, I go straight on and don't look remotely cool.

I'm not sure how much I should be expecting the kit car to behave like the refined Japanese sports car!

MOT man said the rears only got through the MOT because the car was so light.

Yes rears should be able to lock, Have you got a limiting valve in the rears?

The Superspec doesn't normally have a limiting valve, it relies on discs at the front and drums at the back to cope (Unless Al Milton opted for the all-round disc brakes option)
