Default Any opinions?

I am thinking or routing a few sections of brakelines inside the car to have adjustable proportioning valve at my fingers while on the fly.

I'd think you can do it. Just make sure that you have a way to get the air out of the system (may not be as easy as it sounds).

Have fun!

If your car is a '98 and newer F-Body, all brake bias is built into the PCM and monitored by the ABS system.

Any manual change you make in brake bias will be compensated for by the computer.

AXers and RRers have been yearning for a way to alter brake bias for years.

Good call Mitch. I didn't think of what vehicle this was going to be used on. I was thinking along the lines of my 3rd gen (no abs) and it wasn't mentioned.

Somebody has to keep me straight.

if you pull the abs out... your braking bias will be screwed up and wish you hadn't pull the thing out... don't ask how I know... I had to do the test... I can sometimes be hardheaded
It'll brake like $h!t.

Try on this one: LIABILITY ISSUES
Mess with the Fedreally required Factory installed ABS and get into an accident and your A&& is grass. ANY modification to the brake system makes it your fault. Can you spell multi-million $$ law suit PLUS federal prosecution?
If your vehicle is a dedicated RACE ONLY, never street driven, that is NOT LICENSED for the street, then mod your heart out. Otherwise, please spare us!

The "Fedreally" required system is inop to begin with. I am curious where you found this information as i would like to read up on it. By the way what would you like me to spare you bad?
