Traction Control Brakes
« on: October 01, 2008, 04:08:50 AM »

Anyone got first hand experience or knowledge of these braking units? They are supposed to prevent wheel lockup under heavy braking:nixweiss:

It looks like for $79, some one should be the guinea pig.....  It's a lot cheaper than $795 for ABS.  So, if it helps even a little, it may be worth it.  Probable worth the experiment as the site claims, "100% Satisfaction Guarantee; if you aren’t happy with the Traction Control Braking unit, just send it back within 30 days from the date marked on the package and we will buy it back from you."

You don't have to spend even $79 to test this hypothesis, just go out and introduce a little air into your brake lines for free.  It's the same thing, only with the magical valve you can more precisely control how much air is involved.

Trust me, you don't want to trade a real ABS system for this BS.  And if you want better feel and the ability to modulate your brakes, buy a decent set of pads.
