Few Rear Brake Plug Questions in 1 Post.

[MelectroK]

1. Does anyone know what the threads are for such plugs?

2. Would a pipe fitting with the matching metric threads work instead of the "actual" plugs?

3. I have a 96 upgrade on the front will the plugs help the rear "catch up" to the additional breaking?

4. Is it easy to switch back to the stock way if im not happy with the upgrade?

5. Will my rear brakes heat up do to excessive heat?

6. You guys said there isnt much of a handling problem as long as you have abs. What about driving on snow, anyone used these and had rear end control problems?

Thanks for your indulgence.

No pipe fitting will work. You also need O rings

Yes you can easily revert back to stock.

With the '96 brakes up front the rear will get about as hot as the fronts.


I've not had any problems. Great mod.

So you can get an M16x1 bolt and put an o-ring in first and you're set? I'm seriously thinking I need to do this after my adventures 2 weekends ago... The Prop valve and plungers dont even seem to be affected by the arm... I was able to bleed the brakes...

How critical is the placement of the o ring. I mean if i just grove a plug and put it near the end would that be good enough, or is there a science behind it?
