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 |

Listen to JP and James...
Even a "T" won't do much for your rear brakes. A "T" and some late model rear M-Calipers (ironically at match for what your A-Calipers came with (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) ) would be best... Now you're without a parking brake. You'll also need to machine a 5mm spacer to sit under your new vented rotor or get 5mm washers for behind your caliper mounts. Look around for 914-6 rear calipers. They would be the same (piston/pads) as the rear M-Calipers but you'd still have the intigrated hand brake. I know of one lucky teener that just got a pair for $400 bucks!! BASTARD!!
