You dont need them now you have discs anyway. you still need these as the mgf has one aswell but has a single line running from it to rear brakes otherwise the rear brakes would lock if you have too much pressure going to them i have left these on and teed in before them samr principle as mgf Surely the rear brakes locking is part of how ABS works? The ABS will make the decission about pressure to the rear. Dont remember seeing one on the F when I was looking into an ABS conversion. think youll find out that the mgf does have a compensater valve fitted at the front of the car linked to the rear brakes look on the rover epc in the brakes section and youll find it regarding pressure from the abs unit , this only puts the pressure to the brakes that you let it and will take over once they lock so cant see there being a problem ive put a lot of thought into this and i dont think it will be a problem | ||
