[QUOTE="markevo30, post: 571770, member: 20553"] Thanks Sparkywig. I've now read up on the residual pressure valves and you're right, they are required. They keep about 10psi of pressure In the system which primes the hydraulics keeping the shoes close to the drums which reduces pedal travel and improves the 'feel'. As there's no spring to counter this pressure when discs are fitted the valves should be removed otherwise the pads will drag on the discs. [/QUOTE]
