Distribution Dealie For Rear Brakes

[green91SHOPlus]

Howdy. I don't have time to look and see if this has already been posted (birthday party I've gotta go to, haha), but the Load Bias thing for the rear brakes: can I simply bypass that? Just run straight lines to my rear brakes? Because mine's screwed, no fluid at all to the right, and fluid buildup on the left. Would the calipers beable to take full pressure alright enough? I really don't want to spend 100-some dollars on a new block when I can possibly give myself slightly-better braking for less.

They're called bias plugs. Installed, they provide 100% pressure to the rear brakes.

Be warned however... if you're ABS isn't working properly, 100% pressure to the rear can have you chasing your tail in a big hurry.

You can get them from SHOBros. http://www.shobrosgarage.com/

You could go with the rear bias plugs. SHOBros Garage sells them.

Have you ruled out bad brake hose(s)? These tend to rust and swell, shutting off the flow.

The rear lines were replaced just afew years ago when I first got the car, but I'll check it out.

Bias plugs will give you full flow to the rear brakes, but your abs has to be working to do this mod. By allowing full flow to the rears you are changing the bias (hense bias plugs) and the back can get loose under braking. Good for trail braking, bad in an emergency. For about the same effort you could just go to a junk yard and get a working block.
