Should I be using a bias adjuster as I'm running vs commo rear calipers on r31 rotors and ajps fc rc7 front setup? I havnt felt it to be bad at all.
Spoke to a Brake Shop yesterday they said put a T piece to join the 3 front lines (one from MC, one from left front, one from right front) run a line from front of MC to Bias Adjuster then to rear brakes. So was what i was thinking but good to actual have it confirmed by the guys who know. Cheers
This is wrong. You need to run the line from the rear of the MC to the bias adjuster, then to the rear brakes.
I dont see why though as the rear line (line closest to the fire wall) on the MC connects to the top of the OEM bias valve which is linked to the front breaks and the front line (line closest to the front of car) on the MC connects the bottom section of the OEM bias valve, then a line runs to the rear brakes.
Your master cyl is a duel master cylinder. It has 2 outlet ports. One for the front brakes, one for the rear brakes. Typically you use the front outlet for the front brakes, and the rear outlet for the rear brakes.
The front outlet should go to a T piece, then to each front brake left and right.
The rear outlet on the MC should go to the bias valve, then to the rear brakes.
This is how the stock AE86 works.
Ok just checked again mine is in a T-18 and front line goes to rear. Thought the AE86 and T-18 would be the same but yeh there u go.
common mistake.. front of the bmc goes to the rear
Owner built and tuned 9000rpm 402kw atw 3sGTE - AE86

I hope you have tested in all conditions though.
Wet/dry light braking/heavy emergency braking?
Basically if your brakes are gonna lock-up, you want them to lock front and back together, not only rears or only fronts.
On a AE86 or TE72, the front of the bmc goes to the front brakes, via the T piece. The MC even has F and R written on it.
Well on my T-18 front goes to the rear lol. Does anyone know If front goes to front or front goes to rear on a Starion MC?
