    Donor Brake Routing Confirmation for Mk4

    Hey All. Is this correct?(see image)
    And is the Distribution Block even required?
    I'm using a 1994 Mustang GT with stock Booster and Master Cylinder (with remote reservoir).
    I apologize if this was addressed before, but I couldn't find it after several hours online, and the manual is confusing.

    Ditch the distr block. Go straight from the MC to the Tees. The distr block reduced pressure to the rear brakes because the Mustangs were nose heavy. Your FFR is about 52-53% rear heavy so the block is the last thing needed.
    FFR MkII, 408W, Tremec TKO 500, 2015 IRS, DA QA1s, Forte front bar, APE hardtop.

    Nope. Front port to the rear brakes, rear port to the fronts. Although you can mount hard lines to the axle (with flex hoses at the calipers) most of us do not use the rear center hose and instead run hard lines to both rear corners then use a flex hose from the chassis to each rear wheel.
