Hey chaps
Trying to sort out a braking issue on the car (to much on the rears) - currenty i have s discs (non servo'd) , tiltion bias valve and mk3 S rear cylinders (gc1102), bias valve is set to give most pressure to the front but its wound out all the way to its max and Id like a bit more of a safety margin to play with - locks the fronts up fine but i still think the rears could do with backing off
I want to put lower pressure cylinders on the rear - but do you go up on bore size or down on bore size ????
Cheers in advance

Smaller the cylinder smaller the output , is the valve a shut off type or reducing type ie does it shut off and not allow any more pressure to the rears which is what you want on a Mini due to the short wheebase.

I've fitted 1/2" cylinders on all my cars with discs. Perfect!

Do you fit the 1/2" cylinders and a bias valve or will the 1/2" cylinders on there own suffice? Cheers,
