    Had a hydro in my mx5 a wile and getting a good foot brake feel threw adjustment on the hydro took ages but unlike a lot of vids I've seen of people using there hydro mine doesn't have a lot of movement under use.

    some vids I've seen some of the handles move 6 inches or more! What's this about? I'm getting the handle extended so that will give more movement but nowhere near what others have.

    is this just down to each hydro being different or?

    Thanks

    as long as you have enough leverage to lock the rear wheels and do a skid, it doesnt really matter.

    do you find you have a lot of lateral movement? I.e side to side in the handle?
