Brake bias

[Jon-r87]

Which is the better type, knob or leaver?

Also what brand do people use?

I prefer lever type personally.

Tilton one. Wouldn’t recommend a cheap one.

It is yeah. And no it did not fit well ?

Was missing locking nuts for the rear bulkhead adaptors and somert else which I had to order off eBay and I ordered one hose off Hel brake lines site through their custom hose section as one from prolinemotorsport was wrong and he was being difficult. Ideally the hose from the bulkhead to the bias valve I need to reorder as it’s a foot too long. Would need to exit out the AC blanking panel to be perfectly straight ?

To be fair tho it saved a lot of time compared to making them. Lol

I always run the tilton knob-type ones, prefer having fine adjustment over the lever type ones, Tilton are good quality at a decent price, I'd take them over most of the cheap options like CNC, Compbrake, etc.

Hmmmm this is the problem I have heard mix reviews about the kit they/him supply.

Without doing the hard work and working it all out myself there isn’t really any other option, or is there?

There’s not that I know of.

I’d get one of the prolinemotorsport kits in a basic colour, what fits, fit and resize and reorder from Hel. There really well priced.

The hose I had to reorder was the first rear section. So from master to bulkhead. He sent me a straight fitting into the master and the wrong bulkhead connection. So I ordered a 90 bend and correct bulkhead fittings etc and was 24.95 delivered next day.

What brands and how?

Tilton, and something must just fail inside sending far too much pressure to the rear. Half way through a road rally when it happens isnt the best. Had to crimp the line with some vicegrips.
