    I had a track day, and the brakes seem to stick for about a second or so after I've come off the brakes.
    This only happens on the front wheels, and these are the only one boosted.

    System:

    front:

    4pot hilux calipers
    VH44 remote booster
    1' hilux master cylinder.

    rear

    Standard RA23 drums on the t series diff.



    I put a kit through the calipers, they were fine.
    replaced the VH44 booster(ABS did this, they said it was faultly). Driving it hope, still the same.


    If anyone has any ideas, on what to do, or what may be happening, please let me know.

    Thanks Rob J.

    I am thinking now it is something to do with the master cylinder. Or the way the custom rod and brake pedal push the master cylinder on an angle. Maybe the master cylinder is sticking? Although I have not heard of this before. Just a thought.

    Yeah, Jonny, have been thinking about that.

    But in my (limited ) understanding, I thought that that would effect BOTH the front and rear, and it is only doing the front.
    But given what you say, I will test that it only does the front again though, as it has a new booster.
