Rear uprated ("race") brake upgrade finally done

[KnifeySpoony]

So after pondering this for a couple years, then my hand being forced by the abysmal quality of the stock Sierra calipers and shockingly short pad life in the rear, I finally upgraded the Caterham uprated brake kit. The hard part of this is installing the (supposedly mandatory) bias valve. Most of my trepidation was due to my complete ignorance and fear of brake line fittings/flares etc. Thankfully DPR Motorsports in the UK agreed to sell me their flexible line kit with all premade lines to simplify the install. Still need to bleed and leak check but it's all in. Pics below. Will give updates on braking performance and pad life as I go.

Slick install. Looking forward to how you enjoy it.

I can confirm, the valve is indeed necessary. It easily locks the rears in 4 of the 7 more "open" positions on the valve. Ended up on position 3, but that was just on the street. With different tire/brake temps and after they're fully bedded, that may change.
