No ABS with Bias Plugs?

[Danz13]

Hey Guys so my current setup on my 93' ATX is 13" cobra brakes in the front with the ABS sensosr disconnected only in the front (deformed holes in the knuckle and no abs ring on the pass axle. Im thinking about getting bias plugs in the rear but I see there is some discussion about this. Any thoughts?

If your ABS doesn't work DO NOT GET BIAS PLUGS!

I agree with Matt. No ABS no bias plugs. Your rear brakes will lock prematurely.

If you put bias plugs in a non-ABS car, it'll be really easy to look at all the traffic behind you. All you'd have to do is step on the brake pedal and boom, there it is, out your windshield.

Instead of spending money on bias plugs why not fix your abs sensor?

Unless you like to point the way of incoming traffic every time you hit the brakes, would not sugges bias plugs without functioning abs.

The presence of a self-preservation complex does not a "p u s s y" make.

Is your bias valve working? If so you can always adjust it with the rod that goes through the control arm in the back. Or if you want full available bias just zip tie it up so it always full open. This is what I did to get added effect from left foot braking in the corners.

Even full-open stock bias valves allow less than 50% of the fluid through that bias plugs would.

I noticed more than a 500% reduction in rear brake pad life after installing bias plugs. And by that I mean that the stock rear pads had worn less than 50% in the 100,000 miles the car had been on the road, and they wore down to the backing pad in less than 20,000 miles after the bias plug install. The rear brakes were being used that little before the bias plugs.

Thanks for all your inputs. I was looking to get the adjustable rear control arms and most people just get plugs. Im looking to make my abs work and trying to keep the rear bias spring

I have 13" Cobras on the front and stock rears with no ABS.
I used to have bias plugs and yes the rears do lock prematurely.
It was a little scary and reduced brake performance because the rears would lock before full force could be applied to the fronts.
