Brake bias adjustment

Does the ITR have any brake bias adjust (front to rear) in stock form (short of installing a bias adjuster)?

Thanks!

All Hondas come with built-in (stock) bias (proportioning sp ) valves.

Messing with this system can be trouble unless you're prepared to do it right.

If I felt like messing with the proportioning valve, where is it and anyone have any experiance with this?

I need more rear brakes for left foot braking in the snow...fun fun

if i remember right, all brake bias is performed by the abs unit.
the only way for you to mess with it is to mix and match pads F and R

Thanks Stephen! Thats too bad to hear. I really can't justify getting a bias controller for only a couple of drives a year.

I run race pads front and rear on the street all the time.

Re: Brake bias adjustment (Zygspeed)

I figured it out on the drive home from work today on the snowy roads.

Just gotta put my foot into it a little more and pump the brake pedal once or twice.

Thanks!

Race pads soon....
