Need a bit of help and advise I am building a high bhp Sierra mk1 Cosworth at the moment I am thinking about the brakes I have high spec 6 pots for the front and high spec 4 pots for the rear will I be able to run the abs system as well or will I have to run a new adjusable pedal box this car is going to be used on the road so I don't want the brakes to lock easy thanks for your help

 

I believe you can use the abs system as this is not related to the type of brakes. The system uses speed sensors (hall sensors) to sence if the spindles lock up, and is seperate to the brakes.


You need a reduction valve to suit your calipers. Alternatively you can use an adjustable brake bias valve, and get it adjusted properly.


Im actually in the exact same position, so if anyone have any input that would be great.

 

leave the abs alone if it's all working fine

the calipers you use won't over stress the system

i wouldn't run a pedal box again on a road car
