Thanks I'm just fine tunning things at present to a comfortable everyday driveable state. 

You will get a feel for the settings of the brake bias valve mainly in stop and start traffic to much rear causes the car to stop dead on light braking. The brake peddle on these is also adjustable to remove the dead zone. Becarful here adjust this 15deg at a time. To much will bring the brakes on. You will need a little dead zone to allow for heat expantion. Using top grade brake fluid helps again. 

Great shop. I've been buying off them along time.

the starlet brake conpensater valve is located on the front bulk head, and is pressure related. So yeh the rear brakes see very little effort most of the time, leading to rear brake calipers seizing up and drake discs corroding. 

I'm running a 2x bias valve setup which keep the safty feature of the standard 1x master cylinder cross linked Toyota brake setup, and allow me to adjust front to rear bias. 

Once you get used to the setup the benefits are to be found everywhere. Mainly from what I read on these a little thing called lift off oversteer, and fast corner braking allowing the rear brakes better control. This is happening because of the fact the rear brakes are seeing near no braking effort out of factory.

 

Got any pics of ya set up dude

no one will do one as tbh unless ya running a adjustable brake bias valve all ya need to do is make sure the rear calipers are in a good condition as they like to bind on mainly due to the hand brake cables getting stuck etc or calipers needing a refurb  

So I not updated in a long while but watch this space fiske carbon live sports wings 

ordered

Nice i should be putting the deposit

Down on the cf wings in

next few

weeks
