In combination with the rear brakes this restrictor valve takes car that the linings of the front brake don't move away from the rotors. You get less pedal travel with that valve installed. Cheers Ch

It's more accurately called a residual pressure valve; it basically keeps the front brake pistons from being knocked back into the caliper when the spindle flexes. If you simply disable it as many d

If you're converting from a single circuit brake system to a dual circuit one, that valve would stay in the front brake circuit. It's not needed in the rear brake circuit. - Tony \ __________________

That's about right, unless you're using the uprated axle setup. The residual pressure valve only helps a little. I don't use any residual pressure on Peyote (I think--I MIGHT have left the valve in t

I don't use any axle upgrade and don't have a long pedal. I use the restrictor valve and hope it does work. All brake trouble at my car was caused by hot brake fluid. Since I use ATE blue all trouble

The residual pressure valve helps, and you can do as I used to do and fit a stronger one if it's not enough, but your pads will drag a little. I think the biggest advantage of the uprated axle is the

Just curious, Chris, don't you think there is a connection there? Dragging brakes and excess heat? Possibly my RPV was malfunctioning, but I could feel the drag after releasing the brake pedal, and

I also have crisp dust cover seals after a race. I use heat shields with medium success on this issue. The inner seals also fail but they do from the pistons which lost some of their chrome coatings.

Bob, a bigger question is do we know that the current product is being molded from the proper rubber compound. That certainly applies to many of the rubber bits that are used in non-performance appli

Does the current state of parts quality in brake parts promote an argument for Toyota Conversions? Then it becomes an issue of safety rather than performance. I think I also came across a story of so
