no theres a small aprox. 2 foot long hardline that goes from your BMC to the ABS block, you remove that line and your custom line goes from the BMC to the ebrake then the other line out of the ebrake goes to the ABS block

Ok just to make sure. I have a touring so my abs block is different. I hooked up the out of the master cylinder to the in of the hydro hand brake and the out on the hydro ebrake to the secondary on the abs block. But what two lines do I switch on the touring abs block? Rear right and front left?

Just tested this out at a drift event yesterday. It locks up at slow speed but over 40 it does almost nothing but slow it down. I've bled te system until no air in all the lines. "So I think". The brake system as a whole works but not as well. Peddle travel is farther

the abs block shouldnt effect anything if your abs is turned off and everything is hooked up ok

So, OP...or anyone other than Zach having this problem? It's one of the things I'd love to do to my car over the winter. I'm hoping to have a decent setup for next year.

So let me get this straight, if I use the CNC Staging Brake (http://www.cncbrakes.com/hsb.asp?grp...412&subseries=) I will be able to use this exact setup?

I only see one line inlet? Just get a Powered by Max or ASD. Make sure it's plumbed for two lines, not one...

@Zach711f - Do you have your ABS block unplugged? It'll only slow the car down if you still have your ABS block plugged in. Since it's still active, it sees that the rear brakes are trying to lock up and stops them from doing so. Unplug the block and try it again. Because sometimes you have to upset the ABS system for it to still allow for left foot braking I had plugged it in, hit the hydro and locked up all four a couple times on the way to grid, forgot to unplug it again before going for a lap and discovered the hydro had the same effect as you've just mentioned. So try that.
