What are good brakes

[NashMan]

Where would yall suggest getting new brake lines?

I just made a set of line very cheep to boot
http://www.russellperformance.com/mc/brake_hoses/main.shtml

27 inc long for the front with 10mill banjo
15 inc rear

then the adaptors to hook it all up made mine for under 65 bucks and there dot approved

Its the same thing.

no there not

parking brakes are ment to hold the car in park not to use in motion they will burn up

e brakes can be used to stop a car in motion since they use the foundation brake shoes and they have an energizing effect that will wedge shoes into the drum and in stopping the car with no brake assist compared to rotor and hat type which just pretty much holds the car in park

Arguing for the sake of arguing is idiotic. They're the same thing. Even if you wanted to argue that it's a parking brake, you're be wrong since it's a separate system specifically for use if your brakes fail.

Yes, and they also call the bypass valve an "Auxiliary Air Valve"

Try reading, it helps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_brake

dude I do this for liveing stop being a tard


Go in your car got to 100km and then use you parking brake and see what happens it will fail
it desigh to hold our car at 30% grade that is all..

go in truck with rear drum and do the same thing you will lock up the rear tires or be able to slow down slowy if chooseing since it will self energize and the foundation shoes will jam into the drums and not fade out

that's why back past they used drum they did not need power assist brakes like we have now a days

 

[Poodles]

Argueing over semantics is idiotic.

The e-brake/parking brake is on it's own system specificly because of it's use as an emergency brake. All cars are required to have them for just that reason. If you do this for a living you should know that.

Mine will lock up my rear wheels just fine, might want to fix yours.

 

[NashMan]

OMG you relly don't get it do you

your wroung yet ya still fight

toyota says your wroung inter net says you wroung

I guess you in your own littel world

That's enough bickering. Back on topic, or thread lock will occur shortly.
