brake prop valve adusting, any experience doing this? Options

[Trekkor]

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?

James,

I know this isn't a "T" thread...
but just the piston size of front versus rear is not the whole picture. Weight transfer plays into it as well as age/variance in pad compount/tire compound/etc.

And putting a T on a stock system is an argueably bad piece of advice. my own personal experience of a stock race car with a T resulted in leaving the track at 75mph backwards.

not something I would want to recommend to many people.

But overall I do agree that a T allows more rear brake...
just too much more for a stock set up.
