Not the same kit. The kit in this article is a FULL/COMPLETE bolt on turn key kit. Calipers, pads, brackets, hoses, rotors, bearings, hubs, braided lines, banjo bolts, crush washers, spindle nut and dust cap kit etc. The rotors in this kit are NOT Cobra rotors and you will NOT have to use wheel spacers (say with your TTII wheels) with the rotors in this kit.

The SN95 Cobra rotor bracket kit (you refer to) that I, VV and Mustang Steve produce is a completely different product. In that kit, you buy the brackets and YOU piece together all the other components to make it work.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Compact Adjustable Proportioning Valve


How is it on long braking, say down a hill or slowing from a drag run? I understand from Detrol's info that this is a flow proportioning valve, not a pressure proportioning valve, and that the pressures will quickly equalize in a small volume system. This would cause rear over-braking and potential spinouts. How's it working for you and how do you drive it?

PS: This is an attractive option, so I've sent an email to Detrol for operation verification. No, I didn't say it was for car brakes.
