Additional Information and Recommendations
•Please read the following concerning balancing the brake bias on 4 wheel disc vehicles.
•OE Style or Single Mount Race Pedal with Tandem Outlet Master Cylinder:
Front to rear caliper piston sizes, rotor diameters, and pad compounds must be initially configured to provide the correct range of
vehicle bias when using a single bore / tandem outlet master cylinder. If excessive rear brake bias is experienced, an inline adjustable
proportioning valve can be used to decrease the rear line pressure to help bring the vehicle into balance. If excessive front brake bias
is experienced, first consideration should be given to increasing the rear brake bias to bring the vehicle into overall balance.
•Race Pedal with Dual Master Cylinders and Balance Bar:
Master cylinders must be sized to match the calipers and allow the pedal balance bar to operate near the center of its travel. If it is not
possible to fine tune the bias within the adjustable range of the balance bar, then consideration must be given to changing a master
cylinder bore size or some other aspect of the brake system to bring the car into balance. Larger bore master cylinders will generate
less pressure while decreasing pedal travel. Smaller bores master cylinders will generate higher line pressures with an increase in
pedal travel.
