Manually Adjustable Brake Compensator Installed

[v6spider]

Got the adjustable rear brake compensator installed. Plus the rear brakes installed, and all the rear suspension connections torqued.
Next is the front brakes. The rest is all cosmetic and electrical.


Cheers!

This is a good solution. I approve. I have considered this long ago, but went stock.

Why does everyone hate the stock compensator? If adjusted correctly, it can vary pressure based on weight over the rear axle. Which is exactly what you want.

The one on my 85 Plymouth Voyager worked as it should for 30 years preventing rear brake lockups and the back end from sliding out and was still the original when I sold the van a few months ago. I would not want to make a panic stop in Florida traffic or on wet roads without one on a vehicle that is as light in the back as the Spider.

At least the manually adjustable modulator allows you to find your happy medium allowing you to balance the system for the way you typically have the car loaded.

The old compensator was in the way of my duel exhaust system that I will be installing when I can afford it. Also in the way was the two upper suspension links. I also removed those and made a single upper link and converted the system to 3-link.. A friendly reminder as I have mentioned this before I believe.
