Hi everyone,
I've recently entered the world of bigger brakes, and hoped I could get some feedback here about proportioning valves. I have a set of 911 SC brakes ready to be mounted, and wondered if I'll get the correct brake bias by ditching the stock proportioning valve. I have the "T" fitting, but wonder if I shouldn't put an adjustable proportioning valve inline. Seems like it would always be better to have an adjustable proportioning valve, but is it absolutely necessary with that brake configuration? Mmmm, brakes. Thanks! Randy |

You should be able to slam on your brakes when no one is around and see what happens.
Preferably on a long side street with no obstructions around. I'm running the 19mm MC, 911S aluminum calipers up front and 914-6 rear brakes. I'm also running the T instead of the proportioning valve. I've slammed on the brakes at Autox's and on the street and I feel the car brakes perfectly. If i slam the brakes hard enough I can almost get the front brakes to lock up. I wouldn't spend the money and hassle on a proportioning valve unless you need it. |
