•NOTE: Specified brake hose kits may not work with all Years, Makes and Models of vehicle that this brake kit is applicable to, due to
possible OEM manufacturing changes during a production vehicle's life. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that all fittings and
hoses are the correct size and length, to ensure proper sealing and that they will not be subject to crimping, strain and abrasion from
vibration or interference with suspension components, brake rotor or wheel.
•In absence of specific instructions for brake line routing, the installer must use his best professional judgment on correct routing and
retention of lines to ensure safe operation. Test vehicle brake system per the 'minimum test' procedure stated within this document
before driving. After road testing, inspect for leaks and interference. Initially after install and testing, perform frequent checks of the
vehicle brake system and lines before driving, to confirm that there is no undue wear or interference not apparent from the initial test.
Afterwards, perform periodic inspections for function, leaks and wear in a interval relative to the usage of vehicle.
• Bleed the brake system, referring to the additional information and recommendations on page 7 for proper bleeding instructions. Check
system for leaks after bleeding.
•Install the wheel and torque lug nuts to manufacturer’s specification.
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.
