Brake Bias Adjuster

[stouty]

Hi all

I have recently gone to hilux calipers, peugot front discs and have used a starion MC. Im looking at putting a brake bias adjuster in so i can dial in my brakes. It is a T-18, i was wondering what is the best to buy? and where i need to run the lines to. Do i just interupt the line running to the rear and put the adjuster in??

Thanks

i have just bought a wilwood bias valve, seems so be pretty good. keep in mind they have imperial threads so you will need to takle this some how

i spent 60 bucks and got new lines made up with the correct fittings

Yes it just goes in the line that heads to the back brakes, also remove the oem bias valve all to gether.

Im not sure about AE86 oem bias valve but the t-18 one is all joined, so all front lines and rear lines go into it.

Do i just block of the ports that are used for the rear lines and leave the front lines in the oem bias valve?

Looking on ebay can pick up a wilwood for under 100 so will probally go with one of them.

I am fairly certain the the front pipes are not connected to the rear ones in any way on the iron junction block. I got an AE86 one and cut it in half to prove this point.

However the early junction blocks (eg KE30 etc) have a sensor for a warning lamp in them, so there is some connection between front and rear.

i just had a look at the "tilton" bias adjuster today and i have to say MUCH smaller and VERY MUCH sexier than the wilwood one.
But then it was $167!

Smaller is not Neccesseraly better when you want to be making small adjustments whilst driving.

I have a willwood adjuster and find it works very well.

Yeah, Wilwood one here. Works a treat.

+1 for wilwood

[Cerby86]

yeah im sure the wilwood ones work just as well, i mean its hardly complicated. and size wise the knob is pretty much the same size but its anodized metal rather than plastic by smaller i meant it doesn't stick up as much.

Ah, i was thinking you were meaning this type:


But i do see what you mean, the Tilton screw type one is MUCH smaller:
