only frounts, helps spin around... if you are going forword then you hit the break and hit the gas and spin it around, going in reverce you just cut the wheels and slam the break down and you slid around... also nice if you are in a tight place on the track, just hit the break get the tires spining, and turn the wheel. 9 times out of 10 it will spin the rear out and you can get out and finish the heat...

Rears only for me. I toss my front calipers in the dumpster. Ever seen a 67-68 imperial front brake caliper? Damn!

how do you guys plug the front brake lines? i have put a screw in the line and rethreaded it onto the master cylinder,and i have taken a hammer and smashed(carefully, not to cut) the front lines about 4 inches...sometimes i do both,but is there an easier,or more effective way?

Ya you can do that or block one port, Putting a t in will probly make for stronger brakes though. I run the line for the rear brakes inside of the car, make it a little long and use it in all your cars. No more suprise lines busting an hour before the derby.

And rather than rebuild the wheel cylinders, you can get the Mopar ones at NAPA for like 12 bucks. Way better than monkeying around with a hone.

I just got the stand alone pedal and master cylinder that hooks to your dash bar from xXx. I got sick of screwing with brakes and getting bent headers from the booster. Pull all the stock crap out and run a line thru the car.

I normally run the stand alone brake for years now but now if you want to save your trans and want to gear jam with out hurting the trans use a gear brake that attaches to the rearend houseing with your rear brakes.
