also if its a 1.2 16v or less then it dont need adjustin cos the vale is in the brake line, not affected by lowering (also says that in max/hayes) | |

Well people read the haynes manual & it basically tells you what it doea as i wrote above it should nt effect your break system as its designed to reduce the chances of wheels locking up so it should nt cause a problem. | |

The bias brake valve (may be called something different) adjustment is a case of adjusting a spring. When the car is heavierly loaded the spring adjusts the amount of power fed to the rear drums so not to allow the rear brakes to lock up. If you ve lowered your car this will only improve performance of brakes hence they will never load lock up. I have a GSI so the ABS system acounts for the wheels locking up but otherwise the chances of brakes locking up is reduced because the car sits lower. |
