Brake pressure

Post by craigs »

Looking at brake bias gauges - some top out at 1000 and some at 1500 psi. To buy the right one I need to know, what do our cars put out for peak pressure?

Or am I better off going all Spinal Tap and getting the one that goes to 2000 psi so I will have better braking?

This is all you need

Don't you have a mychron 3?
What are trying to do with the gauges? Just set up or getting data?

yeah i have the aim dash - hadn't even thought of that actually. i was going to use the numbers for setup only until your post. i'll probably go analog for setup and aim for data.

1 sensor for data is $150 So if you want to read front and rear $300 and it will take up 2 hard channels of the dash
Gauges $70 good for set up only

Unless you are going to use the Data I would just add gauges it works very well for giving you a start point when setting up the car.

Get gauges for the set up then add 1 brake sensor to get your data later. Saves $80 and saves a channel on the dash
