not really just fit an adjustable rear valve. you get the same result.

I am new with Mini so forgive me if I make stupid questions or comments....

 

Since I started to work on my Mini project I have a feeling that I shall use some up-graded brake cylinders....may be it is just a look....I have Inno 1300 Cooper with original 7,4 discs and drums at the back....basically all is new except original calipers that are reconditioned.

 

Today I stumble upon KAD bias brakes reading some old TMF articles.

 

 

As I understand I need pedals from new mini ('88 on with servo) and KAD bias set - I avoid brake pressure regulator valve that may be tricky to adjust (or tricky to perform as needed).

 

I also need new main brake cylinder for original settings and planned to go with original metal case one.

 

Price wise KAD is double priced (340 punds) compering to standard single line in Minispares (metal main +regulator=160punds).

 

Considering total cost I can bear that difference (at the end those are brakes) but my question is does it really worth?

 

...of course engine bay looks much cooler with KAD... :D ;D

thanks...just spoke with a friend who also told me to rather invest in alloy calipers and better discs....
