I still have the stock proportioning valve in the car.
I think the brakes favor the fronts a little too much. I smoke the fronts, never the rears. I'd like to put on some junk tires and see if I can get to the point where when I apply max brake pressure, the rears lock just after the fronts. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Anybody try this experiment? KT |

If you put bigger front calipers on the car, replacing the prop valve with a tee fitting will probably help move the brake bias to the back, as just upsizing the fronts will move it forward. It's pretty clear the stock setup has too much front bias even with stock calipers. Even with a tee-fitting, you'll still have some static front bias, as the front caliper pistons are quite a bit larger than the rear pistons.
