Hyundai Veloster N TC

The Hyundai Veloster N TC features a sophisticated dual-adjustment brake system designed specifically for front-wheel-drive touring car dynamics. Beyond the standard brake bias adjuster, the car includes a rear brake proportioning valve that becomes critical during heavy braking. As a front-wheel-drive car with limited static rear weight, hard braking creates lightly-loaded rear tires that can lock easily. The proportioning valve limits rear brake line pressure independently, allowing you to tune low-to-medium pedal force situations with brake bias, then fine-tune heavy braking scenarios with the valve setting.

The relationship between these systems requires a methodical approach: set your brake bias adjuster first for general balance, then dial in the proportioning valve to prevent rear lockup under threshold braking. Each valve adjustment down from maximum increases effective front bias by approximately 1% during heavy braking. Lower valve settings force the fronts to do more work and will increase stopping distances, so find the lowest setting that prevents rear lockup without compromising overall braking performance.

Front camber adjustments directly impact braking characteristics—higher negative camber improves mid-corner grip but reduces longitudinal braking force, necessitating a rearward brake bias shift to compensate. The DSC system offers five settings (Dry, Damp, Wet, Safety Car, and Limp mode) adjustable via the F8 Black Box, allowing you to optimize brake modulation for changing track conditions without returning to the garage.
