What is a brake bias valve?
A brake bias valve or brake proportioning valve is used to adjust the front-to-rear brake pressure distribution, improving braking performance and balance. It is commonly used in motorsport and performance cars to fine-tune braking force for different driving conditions.
-
What is an adjustable brake bias valve?
An adjustable brake bias valve allows fine-tuning of brake pressure distribution, giving drivers control over braking performance.
-
Why do motorsport and performance cars use brake bias adjusters?
A brake bias adjuster allows real-time control of brake force distribution, improving stability and handling. It is essential for motorsport applications when braking conditions change dynamically.
-
What is a brake line lock?
A brake line lock or brake line shut off valve is a device used to temporarily hold brake pressure in the front or rear brakes, preventing wheel movement. They are commonly used in drag racing for stationary burnouts.
-
What are the benefits of using a line lock?
A line lock or brake line lock provides several advantages in motorsport and performance applications:
- Assists with stationary burnouts by locking the front brakes while allowing rear wheels to spin.
- Prevents vehicle rollback when launching on a steep incline.
- Reduces wear on the brake system by minimising clutch load during launches.
-
How do I install a brake bias valve in my brake system?
To install a bias valve properly:
- Identify the correct position in the brake line system (typically on the rear brake circuit between the master cylinder and rear caliper tee piece).
- Secure the bias valve using appropriate fittings.
- Adjust the brake pressure settings as needed for optimal braking balance.
-
Are bias valves road legal?
The legality of bias valves varies by region. While they are commonly used in motorsport, some road regulations restrict adjustable brake bias valves for safety reasons. Always check local laws before installation.
-
Can I use a line lock for parking?
Although a line lock holds brake pressure temporarily, it is not designed as a long-term parking brake solution. It is primarily used in motorsport and short-term applications.
