Is The Ebd Programmable For More Rear Bias On A Ba?

[crunk81us]

well as the title says..

I would like more rear brake.. can it be adjusted?

I'm in a ba ute.

BA utes dont have EBD..........?

Doh!!

[crunk81us]

lol.. oops. I just assumed..

ok so is there a way to get more pressure to the rear?

[senna_T]

Being solid axle there is a good chance that any more line pressure to the rear could end up a bad thing - heavy brake application and a small amount of suspension travel generally ends up in locked brake.

[crunk81us]

preferably not that much pressure. I can feel there is definately some scope for more rear braking. manufacturers err on the side of caution with these things..

Maybe you could upgrade the back brakes but it seems like an expensive way about it...

ive got dba4000 and bendix ultimates all round.. they are nice brakes, I guess I'll wait till theyre worn out and think about some larger ones then.

Brake proportioning is defined by the staging and sizing of the master cylinder. EBD (if you had it.. he he he..) works within these parameters. Its good to have as much rear brake bias as possible, Im sure the factory set-up is a little conservative in how it biases rear brake pressure (is there a rear propotioning valve?), but its probably better than lots of rear wheel lock-up. Go for a fabricated pedal box with individual master cylinders and a proportioning adjuster...oh hang on, its a road car, so largely, its best left as standard to keep your power assistance and abs and all the rest. Really good pads I guess, or a rear upgrade as previously stated are probably your best and most likely options. Hope this is of some help.
