its a bolt on upgrade, only requiring reshaping some of the line to the proportioning valve. Need to make sure you have correct one, ABS, non ABS. I adds a better pedal feel for those with bigger brake calipers.

I've been trying to figure out how to get better brakes without a thousand dollar cost. I've got the slotted/cross drilled rotors and stainless steel braided lines in the mail. Thanks!

what exactly is the proportioning valve, where is it? and are there any other options other than rebending, such as getting stainless braided lines???

the proportion valve sends a certain percentage of fluid to the fronts and rear. Yes, you could do SS lines. Thats what i recommend if you gonna slam your ***** to wall. Bending them can be a bit tricky.

is there a line that would replace the fc line so that no bending is required? what is the ABSOLUTE best way to bend the lines (how does the factory do it??)

Does the 929 master cylinder come with a proportioning valve stock? or is it an extra add on... because most master cylinders on most cars don't have them....
also how do figure out the right adjustments for the master cylinder for the rx-7?
Do you just put a small wrench and some tools and go find an empty road... get it up to speed and slam on the brakes and see which end locks first? or is there a better way to do this?
FInally if you go by the crude methoid above.... it doesn't really work for ABS cars right? because u'll never know which end locked up first.

If you go with a non abs unit, and your car had abs on it... wouldn't the ECU keep on displaying the ABS light telling you theres a problem with it after swtiching to the abs unit?

The proportioning valve is not adjustable on the RX7....and....it's not built into the master cylinder...it's seperate. I ASSUME it's the same on the 929. The advantage is that the larger diameter of the 929 master cylinder means less pedal travel is needed to produce the same amount of braking.
