U need either a JDM brake bias valve or a adjustable one like this

[JDMJNKY]

but why??

[JDMJNKY]

but why??

[rthy]

because the original drum braes require a different preload to work than a disk setup. However your original brake bias adjuster is fine with a small modification. Look here:



brake bias means how much braking is done by the front VS the rear, if it was equal the rear would lock up first because of the reduced weight and loading.

[JDMJNKY]

so what does this thing look like and where is it??

[rthy]

ok its an ugly little block of cast iron under the brake master. Heres how you find it:

look at your master cylender and folloe the two brakes lines coming off it and they will go into this thing. A picture is on my accoustics page.

BTW its my personal opinion that a trueno disk brake rear end its really much of an upgrade

i just wanna use genuine 86 rear calipers on my f series thats why im finding out bout it!!

[stuntman]

has anyone put adjustable brake bias controller on a car with standard brakes does playing with it improve your braking performance set up properly much or are they normaly set up pretty good from factory?

[rthy]

you cant install a bias adjuster to limit the front braking, only to limit the rears. The stock sprinter could use more rear bias if oyu ask me but you cant easly do it.
